  30. (1) PRNSP =⇒ Stable Recovery Theorem If E satisfies q

    -PRNSP, then E z − xL q q ≤ 2(1 + ρ) 1 − ρ σs (xL )q q + 21+qτ 1 − ρ ηq, where xL is the closest vector in Ln to x. Proof Idea: A proof of stability only needs: • q q triangle inequalities for z − xL , x and z + xL • 2 triangle inequality 14 / 20

    Follow known proofs for robust NSP! • From Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) [Cand` es ’08] • From Coherence [Gribonval-Nielsen ’03, Donoho-Elad ’03] • From Lossless Expander [Berinde et al. ’08] 17 / 20
  34. Coherence The coherence of a matrix A = [a1 .

    . . an ] is µ = max i j | ai , aj | ai 2 aj 2 Facts: • If µq < 1 2s , q Robust NSP holds. • If A is a Rademacher matrix with m = O(s2/q log n), then µq < 1 2s w.h.p. 18 / 20
  35. Small Coherence =⇒ PRNSP Issue: Naive import needs exponentially many

    variables and constraints! Lemma If A is a Rademacher matrix, • additinal variables are polynomially many • additional constraints have a separation oracle Thus ellipsoid methods find E with PRNSP. 19 / 20
