Abstract

In [8] the author of this paper continued the research on the complex-valued discrete random variables Xl(m,N)X_l(m,N) (0lN10\le l\le N-1, 1MN)1\le M\le N) recently introduced and studied in [24]. Here we extend our results by considering Xl(m,N)X_l(m,N) as sub-Gaussian random variables. Our investigation is motivated by the known fact thatthe so-called Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) introduced in [4] holds with high probability for any matrix generated by a sub-Gaussian random variable. Notice that sensing matrices with the RIP play a crucial role in Theory of compressive sensing. Our main results concern the proofs of the lower and upper bound estimates of the expected values of the random variables Xl(m,N)|X_l(m,N)|, Ul(m,N)|U_l(m,N)| and Vl(m,N)|V_l(m,N)|, where Ul(m,N)U_l(m,N) and Ul(m,N)U_l(m,N) are the real and the imaginary part of Xl(m,N)X_l(m,N), respectively. These estimates are also given in terms of related sub-Gaussian norm ψ2\Vert \cdot\Vert_{\psi_2} considered in [28]. Moreover, we prove a refinement of the mentioned upper bound estimates for the real and the imaginary part of Xl(m,N)X_l(m,N).
