We consider the problem of linear regression where the $\ell_2^n$ norm loss (i.e., the usual least squares loss) is replaced by the $\ell_p^n$ norm. We show how to solve such problems up to machine precision in $O^*(n^{|1/2 - 1/p|})$…
Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) is a simple, yet empirically competitive algorithm for sparse recovery. Recent developments have shown that OMP guarantees exact recovery of K-sparse signals with K or more than K iterations if the…
