Abstract
We consider the -minimisation, which consists of finding the vector which minimises subject to the linear constraint , where is given and is a random matrix with i.i.d. sub-Gaussian centred entries (). This can be viewed as the zero temperature version of a statistical mechanics problem, in which one introduces a suitable Gibbs measure on . To such a Gibbs measure there are associated belief propagation equations. We prove in the easiest case that the means of the distributions obtained by the belief propagation iteration satisfy asymptotically the approximate message passing equations.
