pylops.optimization.sparsity.ISTA(Op, data, niter, eps=0.1, alpha=None, eigsiter=None, eigstol=0, tol=1e-10, monitorres=False, returninfo=False, show=False, threshkind='soft', perc=None, callback=None)[source]

Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (ISTA).

Solve an optimization problem with \(Lp, \quad p=0, 1/2, 1\) regularization, given the operator Op and data y. The operator can be real or complex, and should ideally be either square \(N=M\) or underdetermined \(N<M\).

Parameters:
Op : pylops.LinearOperator

Operator to invert

data : numpy.ndarray

Data

niter : int

Number of iterations

eps : float, optional

Sparsity damping

alpha : float, optional

Step size (\(\alpha \le 1/\lambda_{max}(\mathbf{Op}^H\mathbf{Op})\) guarantees convergence. If None, the maximum eigenvalue is estimated and the optimal step size is chosen. If provided, the condition will not be checked internally).

eigsiter : float, optional

Number of iterations for eigenvalue estimation if alpha=None

eigstol : float, optional

Tolerance for eigenvalue estimation if alpha=None

tol : float, optional

Tolerance. Stop iterations if difference between inverted model at subsequent iterations is smaller than tol

monitorres : bool, optional

Monitor that residual is decreasing

returninfo : bool, optional

Return info of CG solver

show : bool, optional

Display iterations log

threshkind : str, optional

Kind of thresholding (‘hard’, ‘soft’, ‘half’, ‘hard-percentile’, ‘soft-percentile’, or ‘half-percentile’ - ‘soft’ used as default)

perc : float, optional

Percentile, as percentage of values to be kept by thresholding (to be provided when thresholding is soft-percentile or half-percentile)

callback : callable, optional

Function with signature (callback(x)) to call after each iteration where x is the current model vector

Returns:
xinv : numpy.ndarray

Inverted model

niter : int

Number of effective iterations

cost : numpy.ndarray, optional

History of cost function

Raises:
NotImplementedError

If threshkind is different from hard, soft, half, soft-percentile, or half-percentile

ValueError

If perc=None when threshkind is soft-percentile or half-percentile

ValueError

If monitorres=True and residual increases

Notes

Solves the following optimization problem for the operator \(\mathbf{Op}\) and the data \(\mathbf{d}\):

\[J = ||\mathbf{d} - \mathbf{Op} \mathbf{x}||_2^2 + \epsilon ||\mathbf{x}||_p\]

using the Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithms (ISTA) [1], where \(p=0, 1, 1/2\). This is a very simple iterative algorithm which applies the following step:

\[\mathbf{x}^{(i+1)} = T_{(\epsilon \alpha /2, p)} (\mathbf{x}^{(i)} + \alpha \mathbf{Op}^H (\mathbf{d} - \mathbf{Op} \mathbf{x}^{(i)}))\]

where \(\epsilon \alpha /2\) is the threshold and \(T_{(\tau, p)}\) is the thresholding rule. The most common variant of ISTA uses the so-called soft-thresholding rule \(T(\tau, p=1)\). Alternatively an hard-thresholding rule is used in the case of p=0 or a half-thresholding rule is used in the case of p=1/2. Finally, percentile bases thresholds are also implemented: the damping factor is not used anymore an the threshold changes at every iteration based on the computed percentile.
