abstract

This paper considers the model problem of reconstructing an object from incomplete frequency samples. Consider a discrete-time signal $f \in \C^N$ and a randomly chosen set of frequencies $\Omega$ of mean size $\tau N$. Is it possible to reconstruct $f$ from the partial knowledge of its Fourier coefficients on the set $\Omega$? A typical result of this paper is as follows: for each $M > 0$, suppose that $f$ obeys $$ # \{t, f(t) \neq 0 \} \le \alpha(M) \cdot (\log N)^{-1} \cdot # \Omega, $$ then with probability at least $1-O(N^{-M})$, $f$ can be reconstructed exactly as the solution to the $\ell_1$ minimization problem $$ \min_g \sum_{t = 0}^{N-1} |g(t)|, \quad \text{s.t.} \hat g(\omega) = \hat f(\omega) \text{for all} \omega \in \Omega. $$ In short, exact recovery may be obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. We give numerical values for $\alpha$ which depends on the desired probability of success; except for the logarithmic factor, the condition on the size of the support is sharp. The methodology extends to a variety of other setups and higher dimensions. For example, we show how one can reconstruct a piecewise constant (one or two-dimensional) object from incomplete frequency samples--provided that the number of jumps (discontinuities) obeys the condition above--by minimizing other convex functionals such as the total-variation of $f$.
