Putting the curvature back into sparse solvers

Many problems in signal and image processing seek a sparse solution to an underdetermined linear system. A common problem formulation for such applications is the basis pursuit denoising problem. Many of the most used approaches for this problem – such as iterative soft thresholding and SPGL1 – are first-order methods. As a result, these methods can sometimes be slow to converge. In this paper,...
