The constrained $\ell_p^p/\ell_q^p$ ratio model is scale invariant and is therefore attractive for sparse signal recovery. However, its nonconvex, nonsmooth, and fractional structure makes a unified theoretical and algorithmic analysis…

We consider the decomposition of a signal over an overcomplete set of vectors. Minimization of the $\ell^1$-norm of the coefficient vector can often retrieve the sparsest solution (so-called "$\ell^1/\ell^0$-equivalence"), a generally…
