Certifying the Restricted Isometry Property is Hard

Abstract: This paper is concerned with an important matrix condition in compressed sensing known as the restricted isometry property (RIP). We demonstrate that testing whether a matrix satisfies RIP is NP-hard. As a consequence of our result, it is impossible to efficiently test for RIP provided P = NP.

“…Similarly, the expected number of j ∈ Q that do not satisfy (4) is at most γ|Q|/4, so by Markov's inequality, with probability at least 3/4 it holds that the number of j ∈ Q that do not satisfy (4) is at most γ|Q|. It follows that there exists a vector g ∈ G i for which (4) holds for all but at most γ fraction of j ∈ [N] and for all but at most γ fraction of j ∈ Q, as required. (1) , .…”

“…This notion, due to Candès and Tao [11], was intensively studied during the last decade and found various applications and connections to several areas of theoretical computer science, including sparse recovery [8,20,27], coding theory [14], norm embeddings [6,23], and computational complexity [4,31,25]. The original motivation for the restricted isometry property comes from the area of compressed sensing.…”

“…With the exception of random matrices, constructing fast matrices satisfying the RIP is known to be non-trivial -although recent attempts towards addressing this are presented in Nelson et al (2014). Also, verifying the RIP for deterministic matrices is NP-hard, as shown in Bandeira et al (2012). So the idea is to devise an embedding operator that reduces the dimensionality of the measurements while preserving the NSP of the original measurement operator, thus maintaining the same compressed sensing-based guarantees on recovering the image.…”

“…However, determining whether an arbitrary matrix satisfies the RIP condition has recently been proved to be NP-hard [2]. Nonetheless, it is known that sensing matrices can be formed by a sampling process such that they obey the RIP with overwhelming probability under certain conditions.…”
