This short note proves the $\ell_2-\ell_1$ instance optimality of a $\ell_1/\ell_1$ solver, i.e a variant of \emph{basis pursuit denoising} with a $\ell_1$ fidelity constraint, when applied to the estimation of sparse (or compressible)…
Solving compressed sensing problems relies on the properties of sparse signals. It is commonly assumed that the sparsity s needs to be less than one half of the spark of the sensing matrix A, and then the unique sparsest solution exists,…
