\begin{abstract} Suppose $p$ is a computable real so that $p \geq 1$. It is shown that the halting set can compute a surjective linear isometry between any two computable copies of $\ell^p$. It is also shown that this result is optimal in…

In a recent paper, it is shown that the LASSO algorithm exhibits "near-ideal behavior," in the following sense: Suppose $y = Az + \eta$ where $A$ satisfies the restricted isometry property (RIP) with a sufficiently small constant, and…

We consider ILPs, where each variable corresponds to an integral point within a polytope $\mathcal{P}$, i. e., ILPs of the form $\min\{c^{\top}x\mid \sum_{p\in\mathcal P\cap \mathbb Z^d} x_p p = b, x\in\mathbb Z^{|\mathcal P\cap \mathbb…

Given $p$-dimensional Gaussian vectors $X_i \stackrel{iid}{\sim} N(0, \Sigma)$, $1 \leq i \leq n$, where $p \geq n$, we are interested in testing a null hypothesis where $\Sigma = I_p$ against an alternative hypothesis where all eigenvalues…

We consider the decomposition of a signal over an overcomplete set of vectors. Minimization of the $\ell^1$-norm of the coefficient vector can often retrieve the sparsest solution (so-called "$\ell^1/\ell^0$-equivalence"), a generally…

Approximation of high-dimensional functions is a problem in many scientific fields that is only feasible if advantageous structural properties, such as sparsity in a given basis, can be exploited. A relevant tool for analysing sparse…

We explore a new type of sparsity for the generalized moment problem (GMP) that we call ideal-sparsity. This sparsity exploits the presence of equality constraints requiring the measure to be supported on the variety of an ideal generated…

The restricted isometry property (RIP) is an important matrix condition in compressed sensing, but the best matrix constructions to date use randomness. This paper leverages pseudorandom properties of the Legendre symbol to reduce the…

Many real-world data sets are sparse or almost sparse. One method to measure this for a matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is the \emph{numerical sparsity}, denoted $\mathsf{ns}(A)$, defined as the minimum $k\geq 1$ such that…

Designing computational experiments involving $\ell_1$ minimization with linear constraints in a finite-dimensional, real-valued space for receiving a sparse solution with a precise number $k$ of nonzero entries is, in general, difficult.…

We examine the rate of convergence of the Lasso estimator of lower dimensional components of the high-dimensional parameter. Under bounds on the $\ell_1$-norm on the worst possible sub-direction these rates are of order $\sqrt {|J| \log p /…

This paper presents an average case denoising performance analysis for the Subspace Pursuit (SP), the CoSaMP and the IHT algorithms. This analysis considers the recovery of a noisy signal, with the assumptions that (i) it is corrupted by an…

We study network loss tomography based on observing average loss rates over a set of paths forming a tree -- a severely underdetermined linear problem for the unknown link loss probabilities. We examine in detail the role of sparsity as a…

We consider three different models of sparse random graphs:~undirected and directed Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs, and random bipartite graph with an equal number of left and right vertices. For such graphs we show that if the edge…

The goal of Sparse Convex Optimization is to optimize a convex function $f$ under a sparsity constraint $s\leq s^*\gamma$, where $s^*$ is the target number of non-zero entries in a feasible solution (sparsity) and $\gamma\geq 1$ is an…
