Sharpness and well-conditioning of nonsmooth convex formulations in statistical signal recovery
We study a sample complexity vs. conditioning tradeoff in modern signal recovery problems where convex optimization problems are built from sampled observations. We begin by introducing a set of condition numbers related to sharpness in \(\ell_p\) or Schatten-p norms (\(p\in[1,2]\)) based on nonsmooth reformulations of a class of convex optimization problems, including sparse recovery, low-rank … Read more
