For the representation of spin-$s$ band-limited functions on the sphere, we propose a sampling scheme with optimal number of samples equal to the number of degrees of freedom of the function in harmonic space. In comparison to the existing sampling designs, which require ${sim}2L^2$ samples for the representation of spin-$s$ functions band-limited at $L$, the proposed scheme requires $N_o=L^2-s^2$ samples for the accurate computation of the spin-$s$ spherical harmonic transform~($s$-SHT). For the proposed sampling scheme, we also develop a method to compute the $s$-SHT. We place the samples in our design scheme such that the matrices involved in the computation of $s$-SHT are well-conditioned. We also present a multi-pass $s$-SHT to improve the accuracy of the transform. We also show the proposed sampling design exhibits superior geometrical properties compared to existing equiangular and Gauss-Legendre sampling schemes, and enables accurate computation of the $s$-SHT corroborated through numerical experiments.

For the accurate representation and reconstruction of band-limited signals on the sphere, an optimal-dimensionality sampling scheme has been recently proposed which requires the optimal number of samples equal to the number of degrees of freedom of t he signal in the spectral (harmonic) domain. The computation of the spherical harmonic transform (SHT) associated with the optimal-dimensionality sampling requires the inversion of a series of linear systems in an iterative manner. The stability of the inversion depends on the placement of iso-latitude rings of samples along co-latitude. In this work, we have developed a method to place these iso-latitude rings of samples with the objective of improving the well-conditioning of the linear systems involved in the computation of the SHT. We also propose a multi-pass SHT algorithm to iteratively improve the accuracy of the SHT of band-limited signals. Furthermore, we review the changes in the computational complexity and improvement in accuracy of the SHT with the embedding of the proposed methods. Through numerical experiments, we illustrate that the proposed variations and improvements in the SHT algorithm corresponding to the optimal-dimensionality sampling scheme significantly enhance the accuracy of the SHT.
We consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown function $uin L^2(D,mu)$ from its evaluations at given sampling points $x^1,dots,x^min D$, where $Dsubset mathbb R^d$ is a general domain and $mu$ a probability measure. The approximation is picked from a linear space $V_n$ of interest where $n=dim(V_n)$. Recent results have revealed that certain weighted least-squares methods achieve near best approximation with a sampling budget $m$ that is proportional to $n$, up to a logarithmic factor $ln(2n/varepsilon)$, where $varepsilon>0$ is a probability of failure. The sampling points should be picked at random according to a well-chosen probability measure $sigma$ whose density is given by the inverse Christoffel function that depends both on $V_n$ and $mu$. While this approach is greatly facilitated when $D$ and $mu$ have tensor product structure, it becomes problematic for domains $D$ with arbitrary geometry since the optimal measure depends on an orthonormal basis of $V_n$ in $L^2(D,mu)$ which is not explicitly given, even for simple polynomial spaces. Therefore sampling according to this measure is not practically feasible. In this paper, we discuss practical sampling strategies, which amount to using a perturbed measure $widetilde sigma$ that can be computed in an offline stage, not involving the measurement of $u$. We show that near best approximation is attained by the resulting weighted least-squares method at near-optimal sampling budget and we discuss multilevel approaches that preserve optimality of the cumulated sampling budget when the spaces $V_n$ are iteratively enriched. These strategies rely on the knowledge of a-priori upper bounds on the inverse Christoffel function. We establish such bounds for spaces $V_n$ of multivariate algebraic polynomials, and for general domains $D$.
A new spin wavelet transform on the sphere is proposed to analyse the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a spin $pm 2$ signal observed on the celestial sphere. The scalar directional scale-discretised wavelet transform on the sphe re is extended to analyse signals of arbitrary spin. The resulting spin scale-discretised wavelet transform probes the directional intensity of spin signals. A procedure is presented using this new spin wavelet transform to recover E- and B-mode signals from partial-sky observations of CMB polarisation.
Rapidly-exploring Random Tree Star(RRT*) is a recently proposed extension of Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm that provides a collision-free, asymptotically optimal path regardless of obstacles geometry in a given environment. However, o ne of the limitations in the RRT* algorithm is slow convergence to optimal path solution. As a result, it consumes high memory as well as time due to a large number of iterations utilised in achieving optimal path solution. To overcome these limitations, we propose the Potential Function Based-RRT* (P-RRT*) that incorporates the Artificial Potential Field Algorithm in RRT*. The proposed algorithm allows a considerable decrease in the number of iterations and thus leads to more efficient memory utilization and an accelerated convergence rate. In order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed algorithm in terms of space execution and convergence rate, this paper presents rigorous simulation based comparisons between the proposed techniques and RRT* under different environmental conditions. Moreover, both algorithms are also tested and compared under non-holonomic differential constraints.
Inverse problems defined on the sphere arise in many fields, and are generally high-dimensional and computationally very complex. As a result, sampling the posterior of spherical inverse problems is a challenging task. In this work, we describe a fra mework that leverages a proximal Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to efficiently sample the high-dimensional space of spherical inverse problems with a sparsity-promoting wavelet prior. We detail the modifications needed for the algorithm to be applied to spherical problems, and give special consideration to the crucial forward modelling step which contains spherical harmonic transforms that are computationally expensive. By sampling the posterior, our framework allows for full and flexible uncertainty quantification, something which is not possible with other methods based on, for example, convex optimisation. We demonstrate our framework in practice on a common problem in global seismic tomography. We find that our approach is potentially useful for a wide range of applications at moderate resolutions.
