Federal Taxation: Supreme Court Announces “Proper Regard” Test to Determine Conclusiveness of State Court Adjudications of Property Rights

This correspondence extends previously reported work [1, 2] on the problem, or rather possibility, of achieving optimality of beamspace (BS) array processing, where use is made of dimensionally reduced data vectors. The optimality here is with respect to the best possible element space (ESP) parameter estimation accuracy, i.e., the Cramér-Rao bound

Performance Analysis of Sparse Recovery Based on Constrained Minimal Singular Values

The stability of sparse signal reconstruction is investigated in this paper. We design efficient algorithms to verify the sufficient condition for unique $\ell_1$ sparse recovery. One of our algorithm produces comparable results with the state-of-the-art technique and performs orders of magnitude faster. We show that the $\ell_1$-constrained minimal singular value ($\ell_1$-CMSV) of the measurement matrix determines, in a very concise manner, the recovery performance of $\ell_1$-based algorithms such as the Basis Pursuit, the Dantzig selector, and the LASSO estimator. Compared with performance analysis involving the Restricted Isometry Constant, the arguments in this paper are much less complicated and provide more intuition on the stability of sparse signal recovery. We show also that, with high probability, the subgaussian ensemble generates measurement matrices with $\ell_1$-CMSVs bounded away from zero, as long as the number of measurements is relatively large. To compute the $\ell_1$-CMSV and its lower bound, we design two algorithms based on the interior point algorithm and the semi-definite relaxation
