Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a signal recontruction method using nonconvex sparse penalties in compressed sensing. We introduce Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD) and Minimax Concave Penalty (MCP). These penalties change their forms depending on regularization parameters called the nonconvexity parameter, and coincide with the l1 constraint in some limit. In this paper, we consider solving the problem of non-convex penalties minimization by an algorithm called the approximate message passing method. The corresponding theoretical analysis shows that the nonconvex penalty minimization method gives higher reconstruction performance than the l1-minimization method, and the smaller the nonconvexity parameter, the higher the performance. However, a problem arises when the approximate message passing method does not converge when the nonconvexity parameter becomes small. We identify a phenomenon that the approximate message passing method loses the region of attraction to a fixed point, and we partially solve this problem in convergence convergence by a method called nonconvexity control.
