The Capped Separable Difference of Two Norms for Signal Recovery

This paper introduces a novel capped separable difference of two norms (CSDTN) method for sparse signal recovery, which generalizes the well-known minimax concave penalty (MCP) method. The CSDTN method incorporates two shape parameters and one scale parameter, with their appropriate selection being crucial for ensuring robustness and achieving superior reconstruction performance. We provide a detailed theoretical analysis of the method and propose an efficient iteratively reweighted ℓ[sub.1] (IRL1)-based algorithm for solving the corresponding optimization problem. Extensive numerical experiments, including electrocardiogram (ECG) and synthetic signal recovery tasks, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CSDTN method. Our method outperforms existing methods in terms of recovery accuracy and robustness. These results highlight the potential of CSDTN in various signal-processing applications.
