A Lifted $\ell_1$ Framework for Sparse Recovery

Motivated by re-weighted $\ell_1$ approaches for sparse recovery, we propose a lifted $\ell_1$ (LL1) regularization which is a generalized form of several popular regularizations in the literature. By exploring such connections, we discover there are two types of lifting functions which can guarantee that the proposed approach is equivalent to the $\ell_0$ minimization. Computationally, we design an efficient algorithm via the alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM) and establish the convergence for an unconstrained formulation. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate how this generalization improves sparse recovery over the state-of-the-art.
