Title
Error bounds for consistent reconstruction: random polytopes and coverage processes.
Abstract
Consistent reconstruction is a method for producing an estimate $$\\widetilde{x} \\in {\\mathbb {R}}^d$$x~¿Rd of a signal $$x\\in {\\mathbb {R}}^d$$x¿Rd if one is given a collection of $$N$$N noisy linear measurements $$q_n = \\langle x, \\varphi _n \\rangle + \\epsilon _n$$qn=¿x,¿n¿+∈n, $$1 \\le n \\le N$$1≤n≤N, that have been corrupted by i.i.d. uniform noise $$\\{\\epsilon _n\\}_{n=1}^N$${∈n}n=1N. We prove mean-squared error bounds for consistent reconstruction when the measurement vectors $$\\{\\varphi _n\\}_{n=1}^N\\subset {\\mathbb {R}}^d$${¿n}n=1N¿Rd are drawn independently at random from a suitable distribution on the unit-sphere $${\\mathbb {S}}^{d-1}$$Sd-1. Our main results prove that the mean-squared error (MSE) for consistent reconstruction is of the optimal order $${\\mathbb {E}}\\Vert x - \\widetilde{x}\\Vert ^2 \\le K\\delta ^2/N^2$$E¿x-x~¿2≤K¿2/N2 under general conditions on the measurement vectors. We also prove refined MSE bounds when the measurement vectors are i.i.d. uniformly distributed on the unit-sphere $${\\mathbb {S}}^{d-1}$$Sd-1 and, in particular, show that in this case, the constant $$K$$K is dominated by $$d^3$$d3, the cube of the ambient dimension. The proofs involve an analysis of random polytopes using coverage processes on the sphere.
