abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">An algorithmic framework, based on the difference of convex functions algorithm (DCA), is proposed for minimizing a class of concave sparse metrics for compressed sensing problems. The resulting algorithm iterates a sequence of $ℓ_1$ minimization problems. An exact sparse recovery theory is established to show that the proposed framework always improves on the basis pursuit ($ℓ_1$ minimization) and inherits robustness from it. Numerical examples on success rates of sparse solution recovery illustrate further that, unlike most existing non-convex compressed sensing solvers in the literature, our method always out-performs basis pursuit, no matter how ill-conditioned the measurement matrix is. Moreover, the iterative $ℓ_1$ (IL1) algorithm lead by a wide margin the state-of-the-art algorithms on $ℓ_{1/2}$ and logarithimic minimizations in the strongly coherent (highly ill-conditioned) regime, despite the same objective functions. Last but not least, in the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), IL1 algorithm easily recovers the phantom image with just 7 line projections.</p>},
