Restricted isometry property for random matrices with heavy-tailed columns
[Propriété d'isométrie restreinte de matrices aléatoires dont les colonnes sont à queues lourdes]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 352 (2014) no. 5, pp. 431-434.

Soit A une matrice dont les colonnes X1,,XN sont des vecteurs indépendants de Rn. On suppose que les moments d'ordre p des Xi,a, aSn1, 1iN sont uniformément bornés pour p>4. On démontre que si les normes euclidiennes des |Xi| se concentrent autour de n, la matrice A vérifie une propriété d'isométrie restreinte avec grande probabilité et que si maxi|Xi|C(nN)1/4, la matrice de covariance empirique est une bonne approximation de la matrice de covariance. On démontre aussi une propriété d'isométrie restreinte quand Eϕ(|Xi,a|)1 pour tout aSn1, 1iN avec ϕ(t)=(1/2)exp(tα) et α(0,2].

Let A be a matrix whose columns X1,,XN are independent random vectors in Rn. Assume that p-th moments of Xi,a, aSn1, iN, are uniformly bounded. For p>4, we prove that with high probability A has the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) provided that Euclidean norms |Xi| are concentrated around n and that the covariance matrix is well approximated by the empirical covariance matrix provided that maxi|Xi|C(nN)1/4. We also provide estimates for RIP when Eϕ(|Xi,a|)1 for ϕ(t)=(1/2)exp(tα), with α(0,2].
