Abstract

We introduce a new convex formulation for stable principal component pursuit (SPCP) to decompose noisy signals into low-rank and sparse representations. For numerical solutions of our SPCP formulation, we first develop a convex variational framework and then accelerate it with quasi-Newton methods. We show, via synthetic and real data experiments, that our approach offers advantages over the classical SPCP formulations in scalability and practical parameter selection.
