Abstract
This paper is concerned with overcomplete blind source separation using a two-stage sparse representation method. An algorithm incorporating generalized Gaussian function and smoothed \(l_0 \) norm (GGFSL0), which can be viewed as the extension of smoothed \(l_0 \) norm (SL0), is proposed. Compared with previous methods, GGFSL0 tries to directly minimize the \(l_0 \) norm instead of minimizing the \(l_1 \) norm. Numerical experiments with different parameters, sparsity, noise, and dimension demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm.
