Abstract
The sparse optimization problems arise in many areas of science and engineering, such as compressed sensing, image processing, statistical and machine learning. The -minimization problem is one of such optimization problems, which is typically used to deal with signal recovery. The
-minimization method is one of the popular approaches for solving the
-minimization problems, and the stability of such a numerical method is vital for solving such sparse optimization problems and particularly vital for signal recovery. In this paper, we establish a stability result for the
-minimization problems associated with a broad class of
-minimization problems. To this goal, we introduce the concept of restricted weak range space property (RSP) of a transposed sensing matrix, which is a generalized version of the weak RSP of the transposed sensing matrix introduced in [Zhao et al., Math. Oper. Res. 44 (2019), pp. 175–193]. The stability result established in this paper includes several existing ones as special cases.
