In this paper, we introduce a sparse approximation property of order $s$ for a measurement matrix ${\bf A}$: $$\|{\bf x}_s\|_2\le D \|{\bf A}{\bf x}\|_2+ \beta \frac{\sigma_s({\bf x})}{\sqrt{s}} \quad {\rm for\ all} \ {\bf x},$$ where ${\bf…
Consider an m by N matrix Phi with the Restricted Isometry Property of order k and level delta, that is, the norm of any k-sparse vector in R^N is preserved to within a multiplicative factor of 1 +- delta under application of Phi. We show…
In this paper we introduce deterministic $m\times n$ RIP fulfilling $\pm 1$ matrices of order $k$ such that $\frac{\log m}{\log k}\approx \frac{\log(\log_2 n)}{\log(\log_2 k)}$. The columns of these matrices are binary BCH code vectors that…
Randomized SVD has become an extremely successful approach for efficiently computing a low-rank approximation of matrices. In particular the paper by Halko, Martinsson, and Tropp (SIREV 2011) contains extensive analysis, and has made it a…
Let $A$ be a matrix whose columns $X_1,\dots, X_N$ are independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Assume that the tails of the 1-dimensional marginals decay as $\mathbb{P}(|\langle X_i, a\rangle|\geq t)\leq t^{-p}$ uniformly in $a\in…
In this paper, we address the question of information preservation in ill-posed, non-linear inverse problems, assuming that the measured data is close to a low-dimensional model set. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the…
We give a new framework for solving the fundamental problem of low-rank matrix completion, i.e., approximating a rank-$r$ matrix $\mathbf{M} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ (where $m \ge n$) from random observations. First, we provide an…
The simultaneous orthogonal matching pursuit (SOMP) is a popular, greedy approach for common support recovery of a row-sparse matrix. However, compared to the noiseless scenario, the performance analysis of noisy SOMP is still nascent,…
We address some theoretical guarantees for Schatten-$p$ quasi-norm minimization ($p \in (0,1]$) in recovering low-rank matrices from compressed linear measurements. Firstly, using null space properties of the measurement operator, we…
Compressed sensing (CS) or sparse signal reconstruction (SSR) is a signal processing technique that exploits the fact that acquired data can have a sparse representation in some basis. One popular technique to reconstruct or approximate the…
Several exact recovery criteria (ERC) ensuring that orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) identifies the correct support of sparse signals have been developed in the last few years. These ERC rely on the restricted isometry property (RIP), the…
Exact recovery of a sparse solution for an underdetermined system of linear equations implies full search among all possible subsets of the dictionary, which is computationally intractable, while l1 minimization will do the job when a…
We study $\textit{sparse singular value certificates}$ for random rectangular matrices. If $M$ is an $n \times d$ matrix with independent Gaussian entries, we give a new family of polynomial-time algorithms which can certify upper bounds on…
Consider the empirical risk minimization (ERM) problem, which is stated as follows. Let $K_1, \dots, K_m$ be compact convex sets with $K_i \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n_i}$ for $i \in [m]$, $n = \sum_{i=1}^m n_i$, and $n_i\le C_K$ for some…
The bound that arises out of sparse recovery analysis in compressed sensing involves input signal sparsity and some property of the sensing matrix. An effort has therefore been made in the literature to optimize sensing matrices for optimal…
Compressive sensing (CS) has recently emerged as a powerful framework for acquiring sparse signals. The bulk of the CS literature has focused on the case where the acquired signal has a sparse or compressible representation in an…
We initiate a systematic study of the computational complexity of property testing, focusing on the relationship between query and time complexity. While traditional work in property testing has emphasized query complexity, relatively…
We derive near optimal performance guarantees for subsampled blind deconvolution. Blind deconvolution is an ill-posed bilinear inverse problem and additional subsampling makes the problem even more challenging. Sparsity and spectral…
This paper initiates the study of I/O algorithms (minimizing cache misses) from the perspective of fine-grained complexity (conditional polynomial lower bounds). Specifically, we aim to answer why sparse graph problems are so hard, and why…
We present a performant and rigorous algorithm for certifying that a matrix is close to being a projection onto an irreducible subspace of a given group representation. This addresses a problem arising when one seeks solutions to…
