Random Subsets of Structured Deterministic Frames have MANOVA Spectra
We draw a random subset of rows from a frame with rows (vectors) and
columns (dimensions), where and are proportional to . For a
variety of important deterministic equiangular tight frames (ETFs) and tight
non-ETF frames, we consider the distribution of singular values of the
-subset matrix. We observe that for large they can be precisely
described by a known probability distribution -- Wachter's MANOVA spectral
distribution, a phenomenon that was previously known only for two types of
random frames. In terms of convergence to this limit, the -subset matrix
from all these frames is shown to be empirically indistinguishable from the
classical MANOVA (Jacobi) random matrix ensemble. Thus empirically the MANOVA
ensemble offers a universal description of the spectra of randomly selected
-subframes, even those taken from deterministic frames. The same
universality phenomena is shown to hold for notable random frames as well. This
description enables exact calculations of properties of solutions for systems
of linear equations based on a random choice of frame vectors out of
possible vectors, and has a variety of implications for erasure coding,
compressed sensing, and sparse recovery. When the aspect ratio is small,
the MANOVA spectrum tends to the well known Marcenko-Pastur distribution of the
singular values of a Gaussian matrix, in agreement with previous work on highly
redundant frames. Our results are empirical, but they are exhaustive, precise
and fully reproducible
Deterministic Constructions of Binary Measurement Matrices from Finite Geometry
Deterministic constructions of measurement matrices in compressed sensing
(CS) are considered in this paper. The constructions are inspired by the recent
discovery of Dimakis, Smarandache and Vontobel which says that parity-check
matrices of good low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can be used as
{provably} good measurement matrices for compressed sensing under
-minimization. The performance of the proposed binary measurement
matrices is mainly theoretically analyzed with the help of the analyzing
methods and results from (finite geometry) LDPC codes. Particularly, several
lower bounds of the spark (i.e., the smallest number of columns that are
linearly dependent, which totally characterizes the recovery performance of
-minimization) of general binary matrices and finite geometry matrices
are obtained and they improve the previously known results in most cases.
Simulation results show that the proposed matrices perform comparably to,
sometimes even better than, the corresponding Gaussian random matrices.
Moreover, the proposed matrices are sparse, binary, and most of them have
cyclic or quasi-cyclic structure, which will make the hardware realization
convenient and easy.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figure
Structured random measurements in signal processing
Compressed sensing and its extensions have recently triggered interest in
randomized signal acquisition. A key finding is that random measurements
provide sparse signal reconstruction guarantees for efficient and stable
algorithms with a minimal number of samples. While this was first shown for
(unstructured) Gaussian random measurement matrices, applications require
certain structure of the measurements leading to structured random measurement
matrices. Near optimal recovery guarantees for such structured measurements
have been developed over the past years in a variety of contexts. This article
surveys the theory in three scenarios: compressed sensing (sparse recovery),
low rank matrix recovery, and phaseless estimation. The random measurement
matrices to be considered include random partial Fourier matrices, partial
random circulant matrices (subsampled convolutions), matrix completion, and
phase estimation from magnitudes of Fourier type measurements. The article
concludes with a brief discussion of the mathematical techniques for the
analysis of such structured random measurements.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figure
