In this paper, we study the ratio of the $L_1 $ and $L_2 $ norms, denoted as $L_1/L_2$, to promote sparsity. Due to the non-convexity and non-linearity, there has been little attention to this scale-invariant model. Compared to popular…
From a numerical analysis perspective, assessing the robustness of l1-minimization is a fundamental issue in compressed sensing and sparse regularization. Yet, the recovery guarantees available in the literature usually depend on a priori…
