An approximate sparse recovery system consists of parameters $k,N$, an $m$-by-$N$ measurement matrix, $\Phi$, and a decoding algorithm, $\mathcal{D}$. Given a vector, $x$, the system approximates $x$ by $\widehat x =\mathcal{D}(\Phi x)$,…

Measurement noise is an integral part while collecting data of a physical process. Thus, noise removal is necessary to draw conclusions from these data, and it often becomes essential to construct dynamical models using these data. We…

Suppose that we wish to estimate a vector $\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{C}^n$ from a small number of noisy linear measurements of the form $\mathbf{y} = \mathbf{A x} + \mathbf{z}$, where $\mathbf{z}$ represents measurement noise. When the vector…
