Low-rank matrix recovery is well-known to exhibit benign nonconvexity under the restricted isometry property (RIP): every second-order critical point is globally optimal, so local methods provably recover the ground truth. Motivated by the…

The phase retrieval problem is a fundamental problem in many fields, which is appealing for investigation. It is to recover the signal vector $\tilde{x}\in\mathbb{C}^d$ from a set of $N$ measurements $b_n=|f^*_n\tilde{x}|^2,\ n=1,\cdots,…
