Symmetric Toeplitz-Structured Compressed Sensing Matrices

Abstract How to construct a suitable measurement matrix is still an open question in compressed sensing. A significant part of the recent work is that the measurement matrices are not completely random on the entries but exhibit considerable structure. In this paper, we proved that the symmetric Toeplitz matrix and its transforms can be used as measurement matrix and recovery signal with high probability. Compared with random matrices (e.g. Gaussian and Bernullio matrices) and some structured matrices (e.g. Toeplitz and circulant matrices), we need to generate fewer independent entries to obtain the measurement matrix while the effectiveness of recovery does not get worse. Furthermore, the signal can be recovered more efficiently by the algorithm.
