Abstract

We show that sparse spherical harmonic expansions can be efficiently recovered from a small number of randomly chosen samples on the sphere. To establish the main result, we verify the restricted isometry property of an associated preconditioned random measurement matrix using recent estimates on the uniform growth of Jacobi polynomials.
