S-AMP: Approximate Message Passing for General Matrix Ensembles (1405.2767v1)
Published 12 May 2014 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: In this work we propose a novel iterative estimation algorithm for linear observation systems called S-AMP whose fixed points are the stationary points of the exact Gibbs free energy under a set of (first- and second-) moment consistency constraints in the large system limit. S-AMP extends the approximate message-passing (AMP) algorithm to general matrix ensembles. The generalization is based on the S-transform (in free probability) of the spectrum of the measurement matrix. Furthermore, we show that the optimality of S-AMP follows directly from its design rather than from solving a separate optimization problem as done for AMP.
