A Modified Multiple OLS (m$^2$OLS) Algorithm for Signal Recovery in Compressive Sensing (1511.08575v4)

Abstract: Orthogonal least square (OLS) is an important sparse signal recovery algorithm for compressive sensing, which enjoys superior probability of success over other well-known recovery algorithms under conditions of correlated measurement matrices. Multiple OLS (mOLS) is a recently proposed improved version of OLS which selects multiple candidates per iteration by generalizing the greedy selection principle used in OLS and enjoys faster convergence than OLS. In this paper, we present a refined version of the mOLS algorithm where at each step of the iteration, we first preselect a submatrix of the measurement matrix suitably and then apply the mOLS computations to the chosen submatrix. Since mOLS now works only on a submatrix and not on the overall matrix, computations reduce drastically. Convergence of the algorithm, however, requires ensuring passage of true candidates through the two stages of preselection and mOLS based selection successively. This paper presents convergence conditions for both noisy and noise free signal models. The proposed algorithm enjoys faster convergence properties similar to mOLS, at a much reduced computational complexity.
