Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the stability of the \(\ell _1\) minimization for the compressive phase retrieval and to extend the instance-optimality in compressed sensing to the real phase retrieval setting. We first show that \(m={\mathcal {O}}(k\log (N/k))\) measurements are enough to guarantee the \(\ell _1\) minimization to recover k-sparse signals stably provided the measurement matrix A satisfies the strong RIP property. We second investigate the phaseless instance-optimality presenting a null space property of the measurement matrix A under which there exists a decoder \(\Delta \) so that the phaseless instance-optimality holds. We use the result to study the phaseless instance-optimality for the \(\ell _1\) norm. This builds a parallel for compressive phase retrieval with the classical compressive sensing.
