Abstract
In this work, we present some new results for compressed sensing and phase retrieval. For compressed sensing, it is shown that if the unknown $n$-dimensional vector can be expressed as a linear combination of $s$ unknown Vandermonde vectors (with Fourier vectors as a special case) and the measurement matrix is a Vandermonde matrix, exact recovery of the vector with $2s$ measurements and $O(\mathrm{poly}(s))$ complexity is possible when $n \geq 2s$. From these results, a measurement matrix is constructed from which it is possible to recover $s$-sparse $n$-dimensional vectors for $n \geq 2s$ with as few as $2s$ measurements and with a recovery algorithm of $O(\mathrm{poly}(s))$ complexity. In the second part of the work, these results are extended to the challenging problem of phase retrieval. The most significant discovery in this direction is that if the unknown $n$-dimensional vector is composed of $s$ frequencies with at least one being non-harmonic, $n \geq 4s - 1$ and we take at least $8s-3$ Fourier measurements, there are, remarkably, only two possible vectors producing the observed measurement values and they are easily obtainable from each other. The two vectors can be found by an algorithm with only $O(\mathrm{poly}(s))$ complexity. An immediate application of the new result is construction of a measurement matrix from which it is possible to recover all $s$-sparse $n$-dimensional signals (up to a global phase) from $O(s)$ magnitude-only measurements and $O(\mathrm{poly}(s))$ recovery complexity when $n \geq 4s - 1$.
