Modified lp-norm regularization minimization for sparse signal recovery

Abstract

In numerous substitution models for the $\l_{0}$-norm minimization problem $(P_{0})$, the $\l_{p}$-norm minimization $(P_{p})$ with $0 0$, this modified function would like to interpolate the $\l_{p}$-norm $\|x\|_{p}^{p}$. By this transformation, we translated the $\l_{p}$-norm regularization minimization $(P_{p}^{\lambda})$ into a modified $\l_{p}$-norm regularization minimization $(P_{p}^{\lambda,\epsilon})$. Then, we develop the thresholding representation theory of the problem $(P_{p}^{\lambda,\epsilon})$, and based on it, the IT algorithm is proposed to solve the problem $(P_{p}^{\lambda,\epsilon})$ for all $0<p<1$. Indeed, we could get some much better results by choosing proper $p$, which is one of the advantages for our algorithm compared with other methods. Numerical results also show that, for some proper $p$, our algorithm performs the best in some sparse signal recovery problems compared with some state-of-art methods.
