The log-sum regularization has been always drawing widespread attention in the field of sparse problem. However, it brings about a non-convex, non-smooth, and non-Lipschitz optimization problem that is difficult to tackle. To overcome the problem, an iterative threshold algorithm of log-sum regularization is proposed in this paper. Firstly, by deducing the derivative mathematical expression of log-sum function, a property theorem about solution for log-sum regularization is established. Secondly, based on the above theorem, the optimal setting rules of the compromising parameters are elaborated, and the iterative logsum threshold algorithm is proposed. Thirdly, under the situation that the compromising parameters of log-sum regularization are relatively small, it can be proven that the proposed algorithm converges to a local minimizer of log-sum regularization. Finally, a series of simulations are implemented to examine performance of the algorithm, and the results exhibit that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of iterations and precision.
