TL;DR
This work develops regularized Kaczmarz algorithms for recovering high-order tensors from partial data by leveraging the power of the $\ell_1$-norm regularization. It introduces proximal operators for $\ell_1^p$ with closed-form solutions for $p=1,2,3,4$ and builds two main frameworks: sparse-tensor recovery (L1PK-S) and low-rank-tensor recovery (L1PK-L) using the $L$-based t-product and t-SVD. The paper provides convergence proofs for cyclic and randomized updates and extends the algorithms with block and accelerated variants to improve scalability. Through extensive synthetic and real-data experiments (including image destriping and 4D video deconvolution), the proposed methods demonstrate superior accuracy and robustness with practical guidance on parameter selection and computational complexity.
Abstract
Tensors serve as a crucial tool in the representation and analysis of complex, multi-dimensional data. As data volumes continue to expand, there is an increasing demand for developing optimization algorithms that can directly operate on tensors to deliver fast and effective computations. Many problems in real-world applications can be formulated as the task of recovering high-order tensors characterized by sparse and/or low-rank structures. In this work, we propose novel Kaczmarz algorithms with a power of the $\ell_1$-norm regularization for reconstructing high-order tensors by exploiting sparsity and/or low-rankness of tensor data. In addition, we develop both a block and an accelerated variant, along with a thorough convergence analysis of these algorithms. A variety of numerical experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and significant potential of the proposed methods in image and video processing tasks, such as image sequence destriping and video deconvolution.
