Abstract: This paper considers the model problem of reconstructing an object from incomplete frequency samples. Consider a discrete-time signal finCN and a randomly chosen set of frequencies Omega of mean size auN. 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) eq 0 } le alpha(M) cdot (log N)^{-1} cdot # Omega, then with probability at least 1O(NM), f can be reconstructed exactly as the solution to the ell1 minimization problem min_g sum_{t = 0}^{N-1} |g(t)|, quad ext{s.t.} hat g(omega) = hat f(omega) ext{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.
