Title
Direction-of-Arrival Estimation Through Exact Continuous ℓ<sub>2,0</sub>-Norm Relaxation
Abstract
On-grid based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation methods rely on the resolution of a difficult group-sparse optimization problem that involves the ℓ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,0</sub> pseudo-norm. In this work, we show that an exact relaxation of this problem can be obtained by replacing the ℓ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,0</sub> term with a group minimax concave penalty with suitable parameters. This relaxation is more amenable to non-convex optimization algorithms as it is continuous and admits less local (not global) minimizers than the initial ℓ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,0</sub> -regularized criteria. We then show on numerical simulations that the minimization of the proposed relaxation with an iteratively reweighted ℓ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,0</sub> algorithm leads to an improved performance over traditional approaches.
