Abstract

To recover a sparse signal from the linear system Ax = b, a convex lp regularization method (i.e., 1 ≤ p < 2) is commonly used under certain conditions. Recently, however, more attentions have been paid to use the nonconvex lp regularization method (i.e., 0 < p < 1, in particular, p = 1/2) to recover a sparse signal. In this talk, we will discuss a nonconvex reweighted lp regularization method for recovering a sparse signal from the linear system. Our model is the nonconvex version of the model of S. Voronin and I. Daubechies (An iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm for sparse regularization, arXiv:1511.08970v3).
