We begin our work by extending the principal component pursuit to Olariu's polar n-complex numbers as well as their bicomplex counterparts. In doing so, we have derived the polar n -complex and n -bicomplex proximity operators for both the \ell -1 - and trace-norm regularizers, which can be used by proximal optimization methods such as the alternating direction method of multipliers. Experimental results on two sets of audio data show that our algebraically informed formulation outperforms tensor robust principal component analysis. We conclude with the message that an informed definition of the trace norm can bridge the gap between the hypercomplex and tensor-based approaches. Our approach can be seen as a general methodology for generating other principal component pursuit algorithms with proper algebraic structures.Hypercomplex | principal component | pursuit algorithms | singular value decomposition | tensors; eess.SP; eess.SP; Computer Science - Multimedia; Computer Science - Sound; eess.AS; Statistics - Machine Learningjournal article10.1109/TSP.2016.26121712-s2.0-84994013011https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/84994013011
