This paper considers sparsity in linear regression under the restriction that the regression weights sum to one. We propose an approach that combines $\ell_0$- and $\ell_1$-regularization. We compute its solution by adapting a recent…

Hyperspectral images~(HSIs) are often contaminated by a mixture of noise such as Gaussian noise, dead lines, stripes, and so on. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale low-rank tensor regularized $\ell_{2,p}$ (MLTL2p) approach for HSI…
Noiseless compressive sensing is a protocol that enables undersampling and later recovery of a signal without loss of information. This compression is possible because the signal is usually sufficiently sparse in a given basis. Currently,…

The $L_1/L_2$ norm ratio arose as a sparseness measure and attracted a considerable amount of attention due to three merits: (i) sharper approximations of $L_0$ compared to the $L_1$; (ii) parameter-free and scale-invariant; (iii) more…
