A fast subgradient algorithm in image super-resolution

In this paper we propose an e–subgradient method for solving a constrained minimization problem arising in super-resolution imaging applications. The method, compared to the state-of-the-art methods for single image super-resolution on some test problems, proves to be very efficient, both for the reconstruction quality and the computational time.
