Sparse and Redundant Representations

Abstract

In this chapter we present an appealing and surprising alternative pursuit algorithm for sparse approximation. This algorithm is competitive with the Basis Pursuit Denoising (BPDN) and the OMP. This algorithm was proposed in 2007 by Candes and Tao, and termed Dantzig-Selector (DS). The name chosen pays tribute to George Dantzig, the father of the simplex algorithm that solves Linear Programming (LP) problems. The connection to LP will become evident shortly.
