Abstract: The columnwise Khatri-Rao product of two matrices is an important matrix type, reprising its role as a structured sensing matrix in many fundamental linear inverse problems. Robust signal recovery in such inverse problems is often contingent on proving the restricted isometry property (RIP) of a certain system matrix expressible as a Khatri-Rao product of two matrices. In this work, we analyze the RIP of a generic columnwise Khatri-Rao product matrix by deriving two upper bounds for its $k^{extth}$ order Restricted Isometry Constant ($k$-RIC) for different values of $k$. The first RIC bound is computed in terms of the individual RICs of the input matrices participating in the Khatri-Rao product. The second RIC bound is probabilistic, and is specified in terms of the input matrix dimensions. We show that the Khatri-Rao product of a pair of $mimesn$ sized random matrices comprising independent and identically distributed subgaussian entries satisfies $k$-RIP with arbitrarily high probability, provided $m$ exceeds $O(klogn)$. Our RIC bounds confirm that the Khatri-Rao product exhibits stronger restricted isometry compared to its constituent matrices for the same RIP order. The proposed RIC bounds are potentially useful in the sample complexity analysis of several sparse recovery problems.
