The second statement of the theorem differs from the first in the following respect: when $K , there will necessarily exist $K$ -sparse signals $x$ that cannot be uniquely recovered from the $M$ -dimensional measurement vector $y=\Phi x$ . However, these signals form a set of measure zero within the set of all $K$ -sparse signals and can safely be avoided if $\Phi$ is randomly generated independently of $x$ .

Unfortunately, as discussed in Nonlinear Approximation from Approximation , solving this ${\ell }_{0}$ optimization problem is prohibitively complex. Yet another challenge is robustness; in the setting ofTheorem "Recovery via ℓ 0 optimization" , the recovery may be very poorly conditioned. In fact, both of these considerations (computational complexity and robustness) can be addressed, but atthe expense of slightly more measurements.

## Recovery via convex optimization

The practical revelation that supports the new CS theory is that it is not necessary to solve the ${\ell }_{0}$ -minimization problem to recover $\alpha$ . In fact, a much easier problem yields an equivalent solution (thanks again to the incoherency of thebases); we need only solve for the ${\ell }_{1}$ -sparsest coefficients $\alpha$ that agree with the measurements $y$ [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link]

$\stackrel{^}{\alpha }=argmin{\parallel \alpha \parallel }_{1}\phantom{\rule{3.33333pt}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{3.33333pt}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{3.33333pt}{0ex}}\text{s.t.}\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}y=\Phi \Psi \alpha .$
As discussed in Nonlinear Approximation from Approximation , this optimization problem, also known as Basis Pursuit [link] , is significantly more approachable and can be solved with traditionallinear programming techniques whose computational complexities are polynomial in $N$ .

There is no free lunch, however; according to the theory, more than $K+1$ measurements are required in order to recover sparse signals via Basis Pursuit. Instead, one typically requires $M\ge cK$ measurements, where $c>1$ is an oversampling factor . As an example, we quote a result asymptotic in $N$ . For simplicity, we assume that the sparsity scales linearly with $N$ ; that is, $K=SN$ , where we call $S$ the sparsity rate .

Theorem

[link] , [link] , [link] Set $K=SN$ with $0 . Then there exists an oversampling factor $c\left(S\right)=O\left(log\left(1/S\right)\right)$ , $c\left(S\right)>1$ , such that, for a $K$ -sparse signal $x$ in the basis $\Psi$ , the following statements hold:

1. The probability of recovering $x$ via Basis Pursuit from $\left(c\left(S\right)+ϵ\right)K$ random projections, $ϵ>0$ , converges to one as $N\to \infty$ .
2. The probability of recovering $x$ via Basis Pursuit from $\left(c\left(S\right)-ϵ\right)K$ random projections, $ϵ>0$ , converges to zero as $N\to \infty$ .

In an illuminating series of recent papers, Donoho and Tanner [link] , [link] , [link] have characterized the oversampling factor $c\left(S\right)$ precisely (see also "The geometry of Compressed Sensing" ). With appropriate oversampling, reconstruction via Basis Pursuit is also provably robust tomeasurement noise and quantization error [link] .

We often use the abbreviated notation $c$ to describe the oversampling factor required in various settings even though $c\left(S\right)$ depends on the sparsity $K$ and signal length $N$ .

A CS recovery example on the Cameraman test image is shown in [link] . In this case, with $M=4K$ we achieve near-perfect recovery of the sparse measured image.

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.

so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
