Abstract: The optimization problem with sparsity arises in many areas of science and engineering such as compressed sensing, image processing, statistical learning and data sparse approximation. In this paper, we study the dual-density-based reweighted ell1-algorithms for a class of ell0-minimization models which can be used to model a wide range of practical problems. This class of algorithms is based on certain convex relaxations of the reformulation of the underlying ell0-minimization model. Such a reformulation is a special bilevel optimization problem which, in theory, is equivalent to the underlying ell0-minimization problem under the assumption of strict complementarity. Some basic properties of these algorithms are discussed, and numerical experiments have been carried out to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms. Comparison of numerical performances of the proposed methods and the classic reweighted ell1-algorithms has also been made in this paper.


Let \(A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}\) (with \(m\ll n\)), \(B\in \mathbb{R}^{l\times n}\) (with \(l\leq n\)), \(y\in \mathbb{R}^{m}\), \(b\in \mathbb{R}^{l}\), and \(\epsilon \geq 0\). The \(l_{0}\)-minimization problem considered in this paper consists in minimizing the number of nonzero components of \(x\) subject to \(\left\Vert y-Ax\right\Vert _{2}\leq \epsilon \) and \(Bx\leq b\). To this problem, the authors associate the weighted \(l_{1}\)-minimization problem consisting in minimizing \(w^{T}\left\vert x\right\vert \) subject to the same constraints, \(w\in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}\) being a weight vector. Under suitable assumptions, the authors formulate a bilevel optimization problem for obtaining an optimal weight \(w\), propose several convex relaxations of this bilevel problem, present so-called dual-density-based algorithms for solving them, and report the outcomes of some numerical experiments aimed at comparing such algorithms.
