Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) is a canonical greedy pursuit algorithm for sparse approximation. Previous studies of OMP have considered the recovery of a sparse signal through Φ and y = Φx + b, where is a matrix with more columns than rows and denotes the measurement noise. In this paper, based on Restricted Isometry Property (RIP), the performance of OMP is analyzed under general perturbations, which means both y and Φ are perturbed. Though the exact recovery of an almost sparse signal x is no longer feasible, the main contribution reveals that the support set of the best k-term approximation of x can be recovered under reasonable conditions. The error bound between x and the estimation of OMP is also derived. By constructing an example it is also demonstrated that the sufficient conditions for support recovery of the best k-term approximation of are rather tight. When x is strong-decaying, it is proved that the sufficient conditions for support recovery of the best k-term approximation of x can be relaxed, and the support can even be recovered in the order of the entries' magnitude. Our results are also compared in detail with some related previous ones.
This paper considers constrained lscr1 minimization methods in a unified framework for the recovery of high-dimensional sparse signals in three settings: noiseless, bounded error, and Gaussian noise. Both lscr1 minimization with an lscrinfin constraint (Dantzig selector) and lscr1 minimization under an llscr2 constraint are considered. The results of this paper improve the existing results in the literature by weakening the conditions and tightening the error bounds. The improvement on the conditions shows that signals with larger support can be recovered accurately. In particular, our results illustrate the relationship between lscr1 minimization with an llscr2 constraint and lscr1 minimization with an lscrinfin constraint. This paper also establishes connections between restricted isometry property and the mutual incoherence property. Some results of Candes, Romberg, and Tao (2006), Candes and Tao (2007), and Donoho, Elad, and Temlyakov (2006) are extended.
