On the conditioning of random subdictionaries

TL;DR: The paper shows that the conditioning of a subdictionary is the major obstacle to the uniqueness of sparse representations and the success of l1 minimization techniques for signal recovery, and provides explicit bounds on the extreme singular values of random subdictionaries that hold with overwhelming probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paved with good intentions: Analysis of a randomized block Kaczmarz method

TL;DR: This algorithm is the first block Kaczmarz method with an (expected) linear rate of convergence that can be expressed in terms of the geometric properties of the matrix and its submatrices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restricted isometries for partial random circulant matrices

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that the sth-order restricted isometry constant is small when the number m of samples satisfies m ≳ (s logn)^(3/2), where n is the length of the pulse.

Factoring nonnegative matrices with linear programs

TL;DR: In this article, a data-driven nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm based on linear programming is proposed, where the most salient features in the data are used to express the remaining features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix Nearness Problems with Bregman Divergences

TL;DR: This paper discusses a new class of matrix nearness problems that measure approximation error using a directed distance measure called a Bregman divergence, and proposes a framework for studying these problems, discusses some specific matrixNearness problems, and provides algorithms for solving them numerically.
