Three Dimensional Sums of Character Gabor Systems (1909.11561v1)

Abstract: In deterministic compressive sensing, one constructs sampling matrices that recover sparse signals from highly incomplete measurements. However, the so-called square-root bottleneck limits the usefulness of such matrices, as they are only able to recover exceedingly sparse signals with respect to the matrix dimension. In view of the flat restricted isometry property (flat RIP) proposed by Bourgain et al., we provide a partial solution to the bottleneck problem with the Gabor system of Legendre symbols. When summing over consecutive vectors, the estimate gives a nontrivial upper bound required for the bottleneck problem.
