Is the World Linear?

Super-resolution is the art of creating nice high-resolution raster images from given low-resolution raster images. Since “nice” is not a well-defined term in mathematics and computer science, we propose a linear model of the world that allows us, under certain conditions, to achieve perfect super-resolution for arbitrarily high resolution. For example, we may now create a larger-than-life picture of Kurt. 1 Reminiscences I had the great pleasure to spend 15 years in the group of Kurt Mehlhorn. As a sophomore at the Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken, I joined his group in 1983 as a programming slave in the Hill project [16]; several years later, some mysterious system crashes could be traced back to my first (and last) implementation of a red-black tree. After a year in Beijing I returned in 1989 just in time to witness the foundation of the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, or short, the MPI, where I continued my academic career as a PhD student. I remember these ye...
