Abstract:
The focus of this thesis is the construction and analysis of efficient representations in nonlinear signal processing, and the applications of these structures to inverse problems in a variety of fields. The work is composed of three major sections, each associated with a different form of data:
* Regression and Distance Estimation on Graphs and Riemannian Manifolds.
* Instantaneous Time-Frequency Analysis via Synchrosqueezing.
* Multiscale Dictionaries of Slepian Functions on the Sphere.
