	abstract = {We present a novel adaptation of a recently developed relatively simple iterative algorithm to solve large-scale sparsity-promoting optimization problems. Our algorithm is particularly suitable to large-scale geophysical inversion problems, such as sparse least-squares reverse-time migration or Kirchoff migration since it allows for a tradeoff between parallel computations, memory allocation, and turnaround times, by working on subsets of the data with different sizes. Comparison of the proposed method for sparse least-squares imaging shows a performance that rivals and even exceeds the performance of state-of-the art one-norm solvers that are able to carry out least-squares migration at the cost of a single migration with all data.},

	abstract = {Many interesting applications require solving nonconvex problems that would be convex if not for a group 1-sparsity constraint. Splitting methods that are effective for convex problems can still work well in this setting. We propose several nonconvex penalties that can be used to promote group 1-sparsity in the framework of difference of convex or primal dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) methods. Applications to nonlocal inpainting, linear unmixing and phase unwrapping are demonstrated.},

	month = {06},
	abstract = {Recently computationally efficient rank optimization techniques have been studied extensively to develop a new mathematical tool for the seismic data interpolation. So far, matrix completion problems have been discussed where sources are subsample according to a discrete uniform distribution. In this paper, we studied the effect of two different subsampling techniques on seismic data interpolation using rank-regularized formulations, namely jittered subsampling over uniform random subsampling. The other objective of this paper is to combine the fact of source-receiver reciprocity with the rank-minimization techniques to enhance the accuracy of missing-trace interpolation. We illustrate the advantages of jittered subsampling and reciprocity using a seismic line from Gulf of Suez to obtain high quality results for interpolation, a key application in exploration geophysics.},

	abstract = {Seismic data interpolation via rank-minimization techniques has been recently introduced in the seismic community. All the existing rank-minimization techniques assumes the underlying grid to be regular. Irregularity is one of the common impediments in acquisition. In this work, we studied the effect of irregularity on structured and show that how we can modify the existing techniques to handle it. Other then irregularity, we often have missing data. We also show that we can tackle both regularization and interpolation issue simultaneously. The objective of this work is to extend our existing method of interpolation on structured grid to unstructured grid. We illustrate the advantages of the modification in existing methodology using a seismic line from Gulf of Suez to obtain high quality results for regularization and interpolation, a key application in exploration geophysics.},
