We study the compressed sensing reconstruction problem for a broad class of random, band-diagonal sensing matrices. This construction is inspired by the idea of spatial coupling in coding theory. As demonstrated heuristically and numerically by KrzakalaEtAl , message passing algorithms can effectively solve the reconstruction problem for spatially coupled measurements with undersampling rates close to the fraction of non-zero coordinates. We use an approximate message passing (AMP) algorithm and analyze it through the state evolution method. We give a rigorous proof that this approach is successful as soon as the undersampling rate @math exceeds the (upper) R 'enyi information dimension of the signal, @math . More precisely, for a sequence of signals of diverging dimension @math whose empirical distribution converges to @math , reconstruction is with high probability successful from @math measurements taken according to a band diagonal matrix. For sparse signals, i.e., sequences of dimension @math and @math non-zero entries, this implies reconstruction from @math measurements. For discrete' signals, i.e., signals whose coordinates take a fixed finite set of values, this implies reconstruction from @math measurements. The result is robust with respect to noise, does not apply uniquely to random signals, but requires the knowledge of the empirical distribution of the signal @math .
Finally, let us mention that robust sparse recovery of @math -sparse vectors from @math measurement is possible, using suitable adaptive' sensing schemes @cite_31 .

The goal of (stable) sparse recovery is to recover a @math -sparse approximation @math of a vector @math from linear measurements of @math . Specifically, the goal is to recover @math such that @math for some constant @math and norm parameters @math and @math . It is known that, for @math or @math , this task can be accomplished using @math non-adaptive measurements CRT06:Stable-Signal and that this bound is tight DIPW, FPRU, PW11 . In this paper we show that if one is allowed to perform measurements that are adaptive , then the number of measurements can be considerably reduced. Specifically, for @math and @math we show A scheme with @math measurements that uses @math rounds. This is a significant improvement over the best possible non-adaptive bound. A scheme with @math measurements that uses two rounds. This improves over the best possible non-adaptive bound. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first results of this type. Consider the recovery of an unknown signal @math from quantized linear measurements. In the one-bit compressive sensing setting, one typically assumes that @math is sparse, and that the measurements are of the form @math . Since such measurements give no information on the norm of @math , recovery methods typically assume that @math . We show that if one allows more generally for quantized affine measurements of the form @math , and if the vectors @math are random, an appropriate choice of the affine shifts @math allows norm recovery to be easily incorporated into existing methods for one-bit compressive sensing. In addition, we show that for arbitrary fixed @math in the annulus @math , one may estimate the norm @math up to additive error @math from @math such binary measurements through a single evaluation of the inverse Gaussian error function. Finally, all of our recovery guarantees can be made universal over sparse vectors in the sense that with high probability, one set of measurements and thresholds can successfully estimate all sparse vectors @math in a Euclidean ball of known radius.

We investigate the problem of reconstructing a high-dimensional nonnegative sparse vector from lower-dimensional linear measurements. While much work has focused on dense measurement matrices, sparse measurement schemes can be more efficient both with respect to signal sensing as well as reconstruction complexity. Known constructions use the adjacency matrices of expander graphs, which often lead to recovery algorithms which are much more efficient than minimization. However, prior constructions of sparse measurement matrices rely on expander graphs with very high expansion coefficients which make the construction of such graphs difficult and the size of the recoverable sets very small. In this paper, we introduce sparse measurement matrices for the recovery of nonnegative vectors, using perturbations of the adjacency matrices of expander graphs requiring much smaller expansion coefficients, hereby referred to as minimal expanders. We show that when minimization is used as the reconstruction method, these constructions allow the recovery of signals that are almost three orders of magnitude larger compared to the existing theoretical results for sparse measurement matrices. We provide for the first time tight upper bounds for the so called weak and strong recovery thresholds when minimization is used. We further show that the success of optimization is equivalent to the existence of a “unique” vector in the set of solutions to the linear equations, which enables alternative algorithms for minimization. We further show that the defined minimal expansion property is necessary for all measurement matrices for compressive sensing, (even when the non-negativity assumption is removed) therefore implying that our construction is tight. We finally present a novel recovery algorithm that exploits expansion and is much more computationally efficient compared to minimization.
