This paper studies the problem of accurately recovering a structured signal from a small number of corrupted sub-Gaussian measurements. We consider three different procedures to reconstruct signal and corruption when different kinds of prior knowledge are available. In each case, we provide conditions (in terms of the number of measurements) for stable signal recovery from structured corruption with added unstructured noise. Our results theoretically demonstrate how to choose the regularization parameters in both partially and fully penalized recovery procedures and shed some light on the relationships among the three procedures. The key ingredient in our analysis is an extended matrix deviation inequality for isotropic sub-Gaussian matrices, which implies a tight lower bound for the restricted singular value of the extended sensing matrix. Numerical experiments are presented to verify our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Compressed sensing with sparse frame representations is seen to have much greater range of practical applications than that with orthonormal bases. In such settings, one approach to recover the signal is known as \ell 1-analysis. We expand in this paper the performance analysis of this approach by providing a weaker recovery condition than existing results in the literature. Our analysis is also broadly based on general frames and alternative dual frames (as analysis operators). As one application to such a general-dual-based approach and performance analysis, an optimal-dual-based technique is proposed to demonstrate the effectiveness of using alternative dual frames as analysis operators. An iterative algorithm is outlined for solving the optimal-dual-based \ell 1-analysis problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method and algorithm is demonstrated through several experiments.

This paper is concerned with the problem of recovering a structured signal from a relatively small number of corrupted random measurements. Sharp phase transitions have been numerically observed in practice when different convex programming procedures are used to solve this problem. This paper is devoted to presenting theoretical explanations for these phenomena by employing some basic tools from Gaussian process theory. Specifically, we identify the precise locations of the phase transitions for both constrained and penalized recovery procedures. Our theoretical results show that these phase transitions are determined by some geometric measures of structure, e.g., the spherical Gaussian width of a tangent cone and the Gaussian (squared) distance to a scaled subdifferential. By utilizing the established phase transition theory, we further investigate the relationship between these two kinds of recovery procedures, which also reveals an optimal strategy (in the sense of Lagrange theory) for choosing the tradeoff parameter in the penalized recovery procedure. Numerical experiments are provided to verify our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
