Greedy Signal Recovery Review
For researchers in compressed sensing, this review consolidates key theoretical advances in greedy algorithms that bridge the gap with L1-minimization.
This review summarizes recent advances in greedy signal recovery algorithms, specifically ROMP and CoSaMP, which provide uniform guarantees and improved stability bounds for sparse recovery.
The two major approaches to sparse recovery are L1-minimization and greedy methods. Recently, Needell and Vershynin developed Regularized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (ROMP) that has bridged the gap between these two approaches. ROMP is the first stable greedy algorithm providing uniform guarantees. Even more recently, Needell and Tropp developed the stable greedy algorithm Compressive Sampling Matching Pursuit (CoSaMP). CoSaMP provides uniform guarantees and improves upon the stability bounds and RIC requirements of ROMP. CoSaMP offers rigorous bounds on computational cost and storage. In many cases, the running time is just O(NlogN), where N is the ambient dimension of the signal. This review summarizes these major advances.
