On the Equivalence Between a Minimal Codomain Cardinality Riesz Basis Construction, a System of Hadamard–Sylvester Operators, and a Class of Sparse, Binary Optimization Problems

摘要

Piecewise, low-order polynomial, Riesz basis families are constructed such that they share the same coefficient functionals of smoother, orthonormal bases in a localized indexing subset. It is shown that a minimal cardinality basis codomain can be realized by inducing sparsity, via $ell_1$ regularization, in the distributional derivatives of the basis functions and that the optimal construction can be found numerically by constrained binary optimization over a suitably large dictionary. Furthermore, it is shown that a subset of these solutions are equivalent to a specific, constrained analytical solution, derived via Sylvester-type Hadamard operators.
