Description
Summary:Signal sparse representation has attracted much attention in a wide range of application fields. A central aim of signal sparse representation is to find a sparse solution with the fewest nonzero entries from an underdetermined linear system, which leads to various optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Gradient Projection (AGP) algorithm to solve the piecewise convex optimization in signal sparse representation. To find a sparser solution, AGP provides an adaptive stepsize to move the iteration solution out of the attraction basin of a suboptimal sparse solution and enter the attraction basin of a sparser solution. Theoretical analyses are used to show its fast convergence property. The experimental results of real-world applications in compressed spectrum sensing show that AGP outperforms the traditional detection algorithms in low signal-to-noise-ratio environments.
