We know that compressive sensing can establish stable sparse recovery results from highly undersampled data under a restricted isometry property condition. In reality, however, numerous problems are coherent, and vast majority conventional methods might work not so well. Recently, it was shown that using the difference between ℓ 1 - and ℓ 2 -norm as a regularization always has superior performance. In this paper, we consider an adaptive ℓ p - ℓ 1 − 2 model where the ℓ p -norm with p ≥ 1 measures the data fidelity and the ℓ 1 − 2 -term measures the sparsity. This proposed model has the ability to deal with different types of noises and extract the sparse property even under high coherent condition. We use a proximal majorization-minimization technique to handle the non-convex regularization term and then employ a semismooth Newton method to solve the corresponding convex relaxation subproblem. We prove that the sequence generated by the semismooth Newton method admits fast local convergence rate to the subproblem under some technical assumptions. Finally, we do some numerical experiments to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model and the progressiveness of the proposed algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recent designed non-linear conjugate gradient method of Dai and Kou [SIAM J Optim. 2013;23:296–320] is very efficient currently in solving large-scale unconstrained minimization problems due to its simpler iterative form, lower storage requirement and its closeness to the scaled memoryless BFGS method. Just because of these attractive properties, this method was extended successfully to solve higher dimensional symmetric non-linear equations in recent years. Nevertheless, its numerical performance in solving convex constrained monotone equations has never been explored. In this paper, combining with the projection method of Solodov and Svaiter, we develop a family of non-linear conjugate gradient methods for convex constrained monotone equations. The proposed methods do not require the Jacobian information of equations, and even they do not store any matrix in each iteration. They are potential to solve non-smooth problems with higher dimensions. We prove the global convergence of the class of the proposed methods and establish its R-linear convergence rate under some reasonable conditions. Finally, we also do some numerical experiments to show that the proposed methods are efficient and promising. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
