Poisson equation on point cloud with Dirichlet boundary condition plays important role in many problems. In this paper, we use the volume constraint proposed by Du et.al to handle the Dirichlet boundary condition in the point integral method for Poisson equation on point cloud. We prove that the solution given by volume constraint converges to the true solution as the point cloud converges to the underlying smooth manifold.

Based on the recently developed data-driven time-frequency analysis [16], we propose a two-level method to look for the sparse time-frequency decomposition of multiscale data. In the two-level method, we rst run a local algorithm to get a good approximation of the instantaneous frequency. We then pass this instantaneous frequency to the global algorithm to get an accurate global Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) and instantaneous frequency. The two-level method alleviates the diculty of the mode mixing to some extent. We also present a method to reduce the end eects.

The Laplace-Beltrami operator (LBO) is a fundamental object associated to Riemannian manifolds, which encodes all intrinsic geometry of the manifolds and has many desirable prop- erties. Recently, we proposed a novel numerical method, Point Integral method (PIM), to discretize the Laplace-Beltrami operator on point clouds [28]. In this paper, we analyze the convergence of Point Integral method (PIM) for Poisson equation with Neumann boundary condition on submanifolds isometrically embedded in Euclidean spaces.

In this paper, we propose a novel low dimensional manifold model (LDMM) and apply it to some image processing problems. LDMM is based on the fact that the patch manifolds of many natural images have low dimensional structure. Based on this fact, the dimension of the patch manifold is used as a regularization to recover the image. The key step in LDMM is to solve a Laplace-Beltrami equation over a point cloud which is solved by the point integral method. The point integral method enforces the sample point constraints correctly and gives better results than the standard graph Laplacian. Numerical simulations in image denoising, inpainting and super-resolution problems show that LDMM is a powerful method in image processing.

Eigenvectors and eigenvalues of discrete Laplacians are often used for manifold learning and nonlinear dimensionality reduction. Graph Laplacian is one widely used discrete laplacian on point cloud. It was previously proved by Belkin and Niyogi [4] that the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian converge to the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of the manifold in the limit of innitely many data points sampled independently from the uniform distribution over the manifold. Recently, we introduced Point Integral method (PIM) [15] to solve elliptic equations and corresponding eigenvalue problem on point clouds. In this paper, we prove that the eigenvectors and eigenvalues obtained by PIM converge in the limit of innitely many random samples. Moreover, one estimate of the rate of the convergence is given.
