Abstract: We give lower bounds for the problem of stable sparse recovery from /adaptive/ linear measurements. In this problem, one would like to estimate a vector xinRn from m linear measurements A1x,...,Amx. One may choose each vector Ai based on A1x,...,Ai−1x, and must output x∗ satisfying |x* - x|_p leq (1 + epsilon) min_{k ext{-sparse} x'} |x - x'|_p with probability at least 1−delta>2/3, for some pin1,2. For p=2, it was recently shown that this is possible with m=O(frac1epsilonkloglog(n/k)), while nonadaptively it requires Theta(frac1epsilonklog(n/k)). It is also known that even adaptively, it takes m=Omega(k/epsilon) for p=2. For p=1, there is a non-adaptive upper bound of ildeO(frac1sqrtepsilonklogn). We show: * For p=2, m=Omega(loglogn). This is tight for k=O(1) and constant epsilon, and shows that the loglogn dependence is correct. * If the measurement vectors are chosen in R "rounds", then m=Omega(Rlog1/Rn). For constant epsilon, this matches the previously known upper bound up to an O(1) factor in R. * For p=1, m=Omega(k/(sqrtepsiloncdotlogk/epsilon)). This shows that adaptivity cannot improve more than logarithmic factors, providing the analog of the m=Omega(k/epsilon) bound for p=2.
