Abstract: The goal of (stable) sparse recovery is to recover a k-sparse approximation x of a vector x from linear measurements of x. Specifically, the goal is to recover x such that ||x-x*||_p <= C min_{k-sparse x'} ||x-x'||_q for some constant C and norm parameters p and q. It is known that, for p=q=1 or p=q=2, this task can be accomplished using m=O(klog(n/k)) non-adaptive measurements [CRT06] and that this bound is tight [DIPW10,FPRU10,PW11]. In this paper we show that if one is allowed to perform measurements that are adaptive, then the number of measurements can be considerably reduced. Specifically, for C=1+eps and p=q=2 we show - A scheme with m=O((1/eps)kloglog(neps/k)) measurements that uses O(logkloglog(neps/k)) rounds. This is a significant improvement over the best possible non-adaptive bound. - A scheme with m=O((1/eps)klog(k/eps)+klog(n/k)) measurements that uses /two/ rounds. This improves over the best possible non-adaptive bound. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first results of this type. As an independent application, we show how to solve the problem of finding a duplicate in a data stream of n items drawn from 1,2,...,n1 using O(logn) bits of space and O(loglogn) passes, improving over the best possible space complexity achievable using a single pass.
