Abstract

We address the problem of encoding signals which are sparse, i.e. signals that are concentrated on a set of small support. Mathematically, such signals are modeled as elements in the ℓ_p ball for some p ≤ 1. We describe a strategy for encoding elements of the ℓ_p ball which is universal in that 1) the encoding procedure is completely generic, and does not depend on p (the sparsity of the signal), and 2) it achieves near-optimal minimax performance simultaneously for all p < 1. What makes our coding procedure unique is that it requires only a limited number of nonadaptive measurements of the underlying sparse signal; we show that near-optimal performance can be obtained with a number of measurements that is roughly proportional to the number of bits used by the encoder. We end by briefly discussing these results in the context of image compression.
