Improved mutual coherence of some random overcomplete dictionaries for sparse repsentation

The letter presents a method for the reduction in the mutual coherence of an overcomplete Gaussian or Bernoulli random matrix, which is fairly small due to the lower bound given here on the probability of the event that the aforesaid mutual coherence is less than any given number in (0, 1). The mutual coherence of the matrix that belongs to a set which contains the two types of matrices with high probability can be reduced by a similar method but a subset that has Lebesgue measure zero. The numerical results are provided to illustrate the reduction in the mutual coherence of an overcomplete Gaussian, Bernoulli or uniform random dictionary. The effect on the third type is better than a former result.
