We study minimax rates for high-dimensional linear regression with additive errors under the $\ell_p\ (1\leq p<\infty)$-losses, where the regression parameter is of weak sparsity. Our lower and upper bounds agree up to constant factors,…

Conditional stability estimates allow us to characterize the degree of ill-posedness of many inverse problems, but without further assumptions they are not sufficient for the stable solution in the presence of data perturbations. We here…
