Iteratively re-weighted least squares minimization for sparse recovery

Numerical Analysis 2008-07-04 v1

Abstract

We analyze an Iteratively Re-weighted Least Squares (IRLS) algorithm for promoting l1-minimization in sparse and compressible vector recovery. We prove its convergence and we estimate its local rate. We show how the algorithm can be modified in order to promote lt-minimization for t<1, and how this modification produces superlinear rates of convergence.
