arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.
The paper investigates restricted eigenvalue (RE) bounds for norm‑regularized estimators under heavy‑tailed designs. It shows that the previously conjectured sample‑size law based on Gaussian width fails for heavy‑tailed measurements, due to a phenomenon called simultaneous threshold occupancy. The authors provide explicit counterexamples, derive worst‑case sample‑complexity bounds, and compare the behavior of heavy‑tailed versus Gaussian designs on constant‑width polyhedral descent cones.
arXiv:2609.06182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we develop and analyze techniques for recovering a linear image $Bx$ of an unknown signal $x$ from indirect noisy observation $\omega=...
arXiv:2603. 13826v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Classical sparse recovery treats all nonzero entries equally, though numerical noise often creates long tails of negligible coefficients.

The paper develops a mathematical theory of superposition in neural networks using frame theory and compressed sensing. It shows that a sparse binary vector of active features can be encoded by an overcomplete dictionary and recovered via a ReLU operation with a suitable bias. The authors prove recovery theorems for both random-support and worst-case support settings, providing high-probability guarantees for low-coherence dictionaries and a sharp criterion for sparsity levels, with explicit results for Gaussian random matrices and equiangular tight frames.

arXiv:2510. 24215v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recovery from linear measurements under sparse adversarial corruption is typically formulated as an exact-recovery problem: one seeks structural conditions on $\mathbf{A}$ (e.
arXiv:2512. 17426v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider sparse signal reconstruction via minimization of the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty, and develop one-step replica-symmetry-breaking (1RSB) extensions of approximate message passing (AMP), termed 1RSB-AMP.
