    Abstract

    This Note presents a randomized method to approximate any vector v from some set T ⊂ ℝn. The data one is given is the set T, and k scalar products (〈Xi, v〉)i=1 k, where (Xi)i=1k are i.i.d. isotropic subgaussian random vectors in ℝn, and k ≪ n. We show that with high probability any y ∈ T for which (〈Xi, y〉)i=1k is close to the data vector (〈Xi, v〉)i=1k will be a good approximation of v, and that the degree of approximation is determined by a natural geometric parameter associated with the set T. This extends and improves recent results by Candes and Tao.
