Universality of Approximate Message Passing Algorithms

Abstract: We consider a broad class of Approximate Message Passing (AMP) algorithms defined as a Lipschitzian functional iteration in terms of an $n\times n$ random symmetric matrix $A$. We establish universality in noise for this AMP in the $n$-limit and validate this behavior in a number of AMPs popularly adapted in compressed sensing, statistical inferences, and optimizations in spin glasses.
