Geometric Functional Analysis

We study the geometry of centrally-symmetric random polytopes, generated by $N$ independent copies of a random vector $X$ taking values in ${\mathbb{R}^n}$. We show that under minimal assumptions on $X$, for $N \gtrsim n$ and with high probability, …

We prove new results about the robustness of noise-blind decoders for the problem of re- constructing a sparse vector from underdetermined linear measurements. Our results imply provable robustness of equality-constrained l1-minimization for random …

For a large class of random matrices $A$ with i.i.d. entries we show that the $\ell_1$-quotient property holds with probability exponentially close to $1$. In contrast to previous results, our analysis does not require concentration of the entrywise …
