I'm investigating 3D image deblurring and one of the approaches I'm interested in is applying spatial regularisation. To do this I have generated a matrix $A$ which encodes the 6-connectivity of each image voxel (i.e. the adjacent voxels in $x$,$y$, and $z$ planes). For the specific images I am working with this results in a large (5242880x5242880), sparse, symmetric, banded, matrix with $1$s on the first, 512-nd and 262144-th super- and sub- diagonals. All other entries are $0$.

To compute the regularised solution I need to obtain the inverse of $A$. It seems intuitive that it should be possible to factorise or otherwise easily decompose this highly structured binary matrix into smaller matrices to make this problem more tractable?

Thanks

One efficient method (using Hessenberg matrices) is described here: The inverse of banded matrices (2013).

Let $B_{r,n}$ ($1 \leq r \leq n$) be an $n \times n$ matrix of entries $\{a_{ij}\}$, $−r \leq i \leq r$, $1 \leq j \leq r$, with the remaining un-indexed entries all zeros. In this paper we give the LU factorization and the inverse of the matrix $B_{r,n}$, using a method based on Hessenberg submatrices associated to $B_{r,n}$.
