abstract

In this paper we revisit under-determined linear systems of equations with sparse solutions. As is well known, these systems are among core mathematical problems of a very popular compressed sensing field. The popularity of the field as well as a substantial academic interest in linear systems with sparse solutions are in a significant part due to seminal results \cite{CRT,DonohoPol}. Namely, working in a statistical scenario, \cite{CRT,DonohoPol} provided substantial mathematical progress in characterizing relation between the dimensions of the systems and the sparsity of unknown vectors recoverable through a particular polynomial technique called $\ell_1$-minimization. In our own series of work \cite{StojnicCSetam09,StojnicUpper10,StojnicEquiv10} we also provided a collection of mathematical results related to these problems. While, Donoho's work \cite{DonohoPol,DonohoUnsigned} established (and our own work \cite{StojnicCSetam09,StojnicUpper10,StojnicEquiv10} reaffirmed) the typical or the so-called \emph{weak threshold} behavior of $\ell_1$-minimization many important questions remain unanswered. Among the most important ones are those that relate to non-typical or the so-called \emph{strong threshold} behavior. These questions are usually combinatorial in nature and known techniques come up short of providing the exact answers. In this paper we provide a powerful mechanism that that can be used to attack the "tough" scenario, i.e. the \emph{strong threshold} (and its a similar form called \emph{sectional threshold}) of $\ell_1$-minimization.

    stat.ML 2025-06 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives RDT-based lower bounds and predicts a phase transition at oversampling ratio α≈1.4 where descending phase retrieval algorithms transition from failing to succeeding, but the key isomorphism with conv...

  2. Deep ReLU networks -- injectivity capacity upper bounds

    stat.ML 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    For deep ReLU networks with random Gaussian weights, the paper gives upper bounds on the layer expansion needed for injectivity and finds the expansion need saturates by four layers.

    stat.ML 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the asymmetric binary perceptron, the worst-case local entropy breaks down for constraint density alpha in (0.77, 0.78), matching replica predictions and the range where fast algorithms stop working.

    math.PR 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper derives new derivative identities for a stationarized fully lifted bilinearly indexed random process interpolator and states an equality between large deviation limits at the opposite ends of an interpolation path.
