Fully-Decentralized Alternating Projected Gradient Descent for Low Rank column-wise Compressive Sensing

This work develops a provably accurate fully-decentralized fast and communication-efficient alternating projected gradient descent (Dec-AltProjGD) algorithm for solving the following low-rank (LR) matrix recovery problem: recover an LR matrix from independent columnwise linear projections (LR column-wise Compressive Sensing). To our best knowledge, this work is the first attempt to develop a provably correct decentralized algorithm for any problem involving use of an alternating projected GD algorithm and one in which the constraint set to be projected to is a non-convex set.
