摘要： Robust Low-Rank Tensor Completion (RTC) problems have received considerable attention in recent years such as signal processing and computer vision. In this paper, we focus on the bound constrained RTC problem for third-order tensors which recovers a low-rank tensor from partial observations corrupted by impulse noise. A widely used convex relaxation of this problem is to minimize the tensor nuclear norm for low rank and the $\ell_1$-norm for sparsity. However, it may result in biased solutions. To handle this issue, we propose a nonconvex model with a novel nonconvex tensor rank surrogate function and a novel nonconvex sparsity measure for RTC problems under limited sample constraints and two bound constraints, where these two nonconvex terms have a difference of convex functions structure. Then, a proximal majorization-minimization (PMM) algorithm is developed to solve the proposed model and this algorithm consists of solving a series of convex subproblems with an initial estimator to generate a new estimator which is used for the next subproblem. Theoretically, for this new estimator, we establish a recovery error bound for its recoverability and give the theoretical guarantee that lower error bounds can be obtained when a reasonable initial estimator is available. Then, by using the Kurdyka-L ojasiewicz property exhibited in the resulting problem, we show that the sequence generated by the PMM algorithm globally converges to a critical point of the problem. Extensive numerical experiments including color images and multispectral images show the high efficiency of the proposed model.
