Description
Modern measurement schemes for linear dynamical systems are typically designed so that different sensors can be scheduled to be used at each time step. To determine which sensors to use, various metrics have been suggested. One possible such metric is the observability of the system. Observability is a binary condition determining whether a finite number of measurements suffice to recover the initial state. However to employ observability for sensor scheduling, the binary definition needs to be expanded so that one can measure how observable a system is with a particular measurement scheme, i.e. one needs a metric of observability. Most methods utilizing an observability metric are about sensor selection and not for sensor scheduling. In this dissertation we present a new approach to utilize the observability for sensor scheduling by employing the condition number of the observability matrix as the metric and using column subset selection to create an algorithm to choose which sensors to use at each time step. To this end we use a rank revealing QR factorization algorithm to select sensors. Several numerical experiments are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

Description
In applications such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), data are acquired as Fourier samples. Since the underlying images are only piecewise smooth, standard recon- struction techniques will yield the Gibbs phenomenon, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Although filtering will reduce the oscillations at jump locations, it can often have the adverse effect of blurring at these critical junctures, which can also lead to misdiagno- sis. Incorporating prior information into reconstruction methods can help reconstruct a sharper solution. For example, compressed sensing (CS) algorithms exploit the expected sparsity of some features of the image. In this thesis, we develop a method to exploit the sparsity in the edges of the underlying image. We design a convex optimization problem that exploits this sparsity to provide an approximation of the underlying image. Our method successfully reduces the Gibbs phenomenon with only minimal "blurring" at the discontinuities. In addition, we see a high rate of convergence in smooth regions.

Description
High-order methods are known for their accuracy and computational performance when applied to solving partial differential equations and have widespread use
in representing images compactly. Nonetheless, high-order methods have difficulty representing functions containing discontinuities or functions having slow spectral decay in the chosen basis. Certain sensing techniques such as MRI and SAR provide data in terms of Fourier coefficients, and thus prescribe a natural high-order basis. The field of compressed sensing has introduced a set of techniques based on $\ell^1$ regularization that promote sparsity and facilitate working with functions having discontinuities. In this dissertation, high-order methods and $\ell^1$ regularization are used to address three problems: reconstructing piecewise smooth functions from sparse and and noisy Fourier data, recovering edge locations in piecewise smooth functions from sparse and noisy Fourier data, and reducing time-stepping constraints when numerically solving certain time-dependent hyperbolic partial differential equations.
