We consider the demixing problem of two (or more) high-dimensional vectors from nonlinear observations when the number of such observations is far less than the ambient dimension of the underlying vectors. Specifically, we demonstrate an…

We assume the direct sum <A> o <B> for the signal subspace. As a result of post- measurement, a number of operational contexts presuppose the a priori knowledge of the LB -dimensional "interfering" subspace <B> and the goal is to estimate…

This note is concerned with deterministic constructions of $m \times N$ matrices satisfying a restricted isometry property from $\ell_2$ to $\ell_1$ on $s$-sparse vectors. Similarly to the standard ($\ell_2$ to $\ell_2$) restricted isometry…

A sparsity pattern in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$, for $m\geq n$, is a vector subspace of matrices admitting a basis consisting of canonical basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$. We represent a sparsity pattern by a matrix with…

We propose a test of many zero parameter restrictions in a high dimensional linear iid regression model with $k$ $>>$ $n$ regressors. The test statistic is formed by estimating key parameters one at a time based on many low dimension…

A matrix $A$ is said to have the $\ell_p$-Restricted Isometry Property ($\ell_p$-RIP) if for all vectors $x$ of up to some sparsity $k$, $\|{Ax}\|_p$ is roughly proportional to $\|{x}\|_p$. We study this property for $m \times n$ matrices…

We introduce a \emph{batch} version of sparse recovery, where the goal is to report a sequence of vectors $A_1',\ldots,A_m' \in \mathbb{R}^n$ that estimate unknown signals $A_1,\ldots,A_m \in \mathbb{R}^n$ using a few linear measurements,…
