A fast block nonlinear Bregman-Kaczmarz method with averaging for nonlinear sparse signal recovery

Abstract: Recovery of a sparse signal from a nonlinear system arises in many practical applications including compressive sensing, image reconstruction and machine learning. In this paper, a fast block nonlinear Bregman-Kaczmarz method with averaging is presented for nonlinear sparse signal recovery problems. Theoretical analysis proves that the averaging block nonlinear Bregman-Kaczmarz method with both constant stepsizes and adaptive stepsizes are convergent. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the averaging block nonlinear Bregman-Kaczmarz method, which converges faster than the existing nonlinear Bregman-Kaczmarz methods.
