Abstract

This paper considers the model problem of reconstructing an object from incomplete frequency samples. Consider a discrete-time signal f ∈ C N and a randomly chosen set of frequencies Ω of mean size τN. Is it possible to reconstruct f from the partial knowledge of its Fourier coefficients on the set Ω? A typical result of this paper is as follows: for each M> 0, suppose that f obeys #{t, f(t) = 0} ≤ α(M) · (log N) −1 · #Ω, then with probability at least 1 − O(N −M), f can be reconstructed exactly as the solution to the ℓ1 minimization problem |g(t)|, s.t. ˆg(ω) = ˆ f(ω) for all ω ∈ Ω.
