This project aims to give a basic introduction to String Theory, and the mathematical techniques required, by working through (part of) the undergraduate textbook "A First Course in String Theory" by Barton Zwiebach (Cambridge University Press, 2004).

Our project is to use functional analysis, convex analysis and optimization to introduce and analyze various regularization methods with suitable penalty terms, including the sparsity promoting functions and the total variational function. We also seek applications in imaging and industry.

A two dimensional Riemannian manifold is an abstract surface sitting nowhere in particular, but which somehow has the structures imposed on it that a surface gets by sitting in Euclidean space, such as tangent spaces, a metric etc.
