Sparse Signal Recovery (analysis / synthesis sparsity) L1-391

Unclaimed Principle — open for contribution

This Principle is declared in the catalog but has no reference solver, no pinned dataset, and is not registered on-chain. There is no reward pool. Submitting a cert against this Principle today will record the cert for reproducibility but pay zero PWM.

To claim it as a Bounty #7 contribution: open a PR adding (1) a reference solver, (2) ≥1 dataset pinned to IPFS, (3) updates to the L3 manifest with dataset CIDs. After verifier-agent triple-review, the founders' 3-of-5 multisig signs PWMRegistry.register() and the Principle becomes mineable.

Forward model E

A signal x admits sparse representation alpha in some dictionary D such that x = D*alpha (synthesis model) or Omega*x is sparse (analysis model). Observations y = A*x + n are measured with a linear operator A. The task is to recover x via sparsity-constrained optimization.

Well-posedness W

Existence:
true
Uniqueness:
when ||alpha||_0 < 1/2 * (1 + 1/mu(AD))
Stability:
conditional
κ:
2000

Unique sparsity under mutual-coherence or RIP bounds; relaxed L0->L1 equivalence under Donoho-Elad theorem. Mismatch: dictionary drift, non-exact sparsity, off-grid sparsity (basis mismatch).
