# 3.4 The nullspace property

 Page 1 / 1

We begin with a property of the null space $N$ which is at the heart of proving results on instance-optimality.

We say that $N$ has the Null Space Property if for all $\eta \in N$ and all $T$ with $\text{#}T\le k$ we have ${\parallel \eta \parallel }_{X}\le {c}_{1}{\parallel {\eta }_{{T}^{C}}\parallel }_{X}$

Intuitively, NSP implies that for any vector in the nullspace the energy will not be concentrated in a small number of entries.

The following are equivalent formulations for NSP $X$ for $k$ :

• ${\parallel \eta \parallel }_{X}\le {c}_{1}{\sigma }_{k}\left(\eta \right)$
• ${\parallel {\eta }_{T}\parallel }_{X\text{}}\le {c}_{1}^{\prime }{\parallel {\eta }_{{T}^{C}}\parallel }_{X}$ where $\eta ={\eta }_{T}+{\eta }_{{T}^{C}}$ .

Note also that the triangle inequality can be used as follows

${\parallel \eta \parallel }_{X}={\parallel {\eta }_{T}+{\eta }_{{T}^{C}}\parallel }_{X}\le {\parallel {\eta }_{T}\parallel }_{X}+{\parallel {\eta }_{{T}^{C}}\parallel }_{X}$

which shows that (b) is equivalent to NSP.

• If $\left(\Phi ,\Delta \right)$ is instance optimal on $X$ for the value $k$ , then $\Phi$ satisfies the NSP for $2k$ on $X$ with an equivalent constant.
• If $\Phi$ has the NSP for $X$ and $2k$ then $\exists \Delta$ s.t. $\Phi$ has the instance optimal property for $k$ .

We will prove a slightly weaker version of this to save time. We first prove that instance optimality for $k$ implies NSP $X$ for $k$ (hence this is slightly weaker than advertised) . Let $\eta \in N$ and set $z=\Delta \left(0\right)$ then

$\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\parallel \eta -z\parallel \le {c}_{0}{\sigma }_{k}\left(\eta \right)\\ \parallel \eta +z\parallel \le {c}_{0}{\sigma }_{k}\left(\eta \right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\end{array}\\ \parallel \eta \parallel \le \mathrm{max}\left\{\parallel \eta -z\parallel ,\parallel \eta +z\parallel \right\}\le {c}_{0}{\sigma }_{k}\left(\eta \right)\end{array}& \begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{instance optimal property}\\ -z\in \mathcal{N}\end{array}\\ \text{triangle inequality}\end{array}\end{array}$

We now prove 2. Suppose $\Phi$ has the NSP for $2k$ . Given $y$ , $ℱ$ $\left(y\right)=\left\{x:\Phi \left(x\right)=y\right\}$ . Let us define the decoder $\Delta$ by $\Delta \left(y\right):=\mathrm{arg}\mathrm{min}\left\{{\sigma }_{K}{\left(x\right)}_{X}:x\in \text{}ℱ\text{}\left(y\right)\right\}$ , then

$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l}{\parallel x-\mathrm{\Delta }\left(\mathrm{\Phi }\left(x\right)\right)\parallel }_{X}={\parallel x-{x}^{\prime }\parallel }_{X}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\\ \le {c}_{1}{\sigma }_{2K}\left(x-{x}^{\prime }\right)\end{array}\\ \le {c}_{1}\left({\sigma }_{K}\left(x\right)-{\sigma }_{K}\left({x}^{\prime }\right)\right)\text{}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{3.0em}{0.0ex}}\text{specific 2K term approximation}\end{array}\\ \le 2{c}_{1}{\sigma }_{K}\left(x\right)\end{array}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}$

QED.

Note that the instance optimal property automatically gives reproduction of $K$ -sparse signals.

At this stage the challenge is to create $\Phi$ with this instance optimal property. For this we shall use the restricted isometry property as introduced earlier and which we now recall.

how can chip be made from sand
is this allso about nanoscale material

are nano particles real
yeah

Hello, if I study Physics teacher in bachelor, can I study Nanotechnology in master?
no can't

where we get a research paper on Nano chemistry....?
nanopartical of organic/inorganic / physical chemistry , pdf / thesis / review
Ali
what are the products of Nano chemistry?
There are lots of products of nano chemistry... Like nano coatings.....carbon fiber.. And lots of others..
learn
Even nanotechnology is pretty much all about chemistry... Its the chemistry on quantum or atomic level

ya I also want to know the raman spectra
Bhagvanji
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
Nasa has use it in the 60's, copper as water purification in the moon travel.

what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
