Many real-world problems in machine learning, signal processing, and communications assume that an unknown vector $x$ is measured by a matrix A, resulting in a vector $y=Ax+z$, where $z$ denotes the noise; we call this a single measurement…

In many applications, a signal is deformed by well-understood dynamics before it can be measured. For example, when a pollutant enters a river, it immediately begins dispersing, flowing, settling, and reacting. If the pollutant enters at a…
