FRANALASSO - Frame LASSO regression

Program code:

function [tc,relres,iter,frec,cd] = franalasso(F,f,lambda,varargin)
%FRANALASSO  Frame LASSO regression
%   Usage: tc = franalasso(F,f,lambda)
%          tc = franalasso(F,f,lambda,C,tol,maxit)
%          [tc,relres,iter,frec,cd] = franalasso(...)
%
%   Input parameters:
%       F        : Frame definition
%       f        : Input signal
%       lambda   : Regularisation parameter, controls sparsity of the solution
%       C        : Step size of the algorithm.
%       tol      : Reative error tolerance.
%       maxit    : Maximum number of iterations.
%   Output parameters:
%       tc       : Thresholded coefficients
%       relres   : Vector of residuals.
%       iter     : Number of iterations done.  
%       frec     : Reconstructed signal
%       cd       : The min c||_2 solution using the canonical dual frame.
%
%   FRANALASSO(F,f,lambda) solves the LASSO (or basis pursuit denoising)
%   regression problem for a general frame: minimize a functional of the
%   synthesis coefficients defined as the sum of half the l^2 norm of the
%   approximation error and the l^1 norm of the coefficient sequence, with
%   a penalization coefficient lambda such that
%
%      argmin lambda||c||_1 + 1/2||Fc - f||_2^2
%
%   The solution is obtained via an iterative procedure, called Landweber
%   iteration, involving iterative soft thresholdings.
%
%   The following flags determining an algorithm to be used are recognized
%   at the end of the argument list:
%
%   'ista'
%     The basic (Iterative Soft Thresholding) algorithm given F and f 
%     and parameters C*>0, lambda >0 acts as follows:
%
%        Initialize c
%        repeat until stopping criterion is met
%          c <- soft(c + F*(f - Fc)/C,lambda/C)
%        end
%
%   'fista'
%     The fast version of the previous. This is the default option.
%     :
%
%        Initialize c(0),z,tau(0)=1,n=1
%        repeat until stopping criterion is met
%           c(n) <- soft(z + F*(f - Fz)/C,lambda/C)
%           tau(n) <- (1+sqrt(1+4*tau(n-1)^2))/2
%           z   <- c(n) + (c(n)-c(n-1))(tau(n-1)-1)/tau(n)
%           n   <- n + 1
%        end
%
%   [tc,relres,iter] = FRANALASSO(...) returns the residuals relres in 
%   a vector and the number of iteration steps done iter.
%
%   [tc,relres,iter,frec,cd] = FRANALASSO(...) returns the reconstructed
%   signal from the coefficients, frec and coefficients cd obtained by
%   analysing using the canonical dual system. 
%   Note that this requires additional computations.
%
%   The relationship between the output coefficients and frec is 
%   given by :
%
%     frec = frsyn(F,tc);
%
%   The function takes the following optional parameters at the end of
%   the line of input arguments:
%
%   'C',cval   
%      Landweber iteration parameter: must be larger than square of upper 
%      frame bound. Default value is the upper frame bound.
%
%   'tol',tol  
%      Stopping criterion: minimum relative difference between norms in 
%      two consecutive iterations. Default value is 1e-2.
%
%   'maxit',maxit
%      Stopping criterion: maximal number of iterations to do. Default 
%      value is 100.
%
%   'print'    
%      Display the progress.
%
%   'quiet'    
%      Don't print anything, this is the default.
%
%   'printstep',p
%      If 'print' is specified, then print every p'th iteration. Default 
%      value is 10;
%
%   'debias'
%      Performs debiasing (improves approximation accuracy) of the solution
%      using the conjugate gradient algorithm. This amounts to doing 
%      best-fit with respect to a subdictionary selected by ISTA. 
%
%   'pcgmaxit',pcgmaxit 
%      Maximum allowed number of iterations for pcg. Only used together
%      with the 'debias' flag. The default value is 100.
%   
%   'pcgtol',pcgtol 
%      Tolerance of pcg. Only used together with the 'debias' flag. 
%      The default value is 1e-6.
%
%   The parameters C, itermax and tol may also be specified on the
%   command line in that order: FRANALASSO(F,x,lambda,C,tol,maxit).
%
%   *Note**: If you do not specify C, it will be obtained as the upper
%   framebound. Depending on the structure of the frame, this can be an
%   expensive operation.
%
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   The following example shows how FRANALASSO produces a sparse
%   representation of a test signal greasy*:
%
%      f = greasy;
%      % Gabor frame with redundancy 8
%      F = frame('dgtreal','gauss',64,512);
%      % Choosing lambda (weight of the sparse regularization param.)
%      lambda = 0.1;
%      % Solve the basis pursuit problem
%      [c1,~,~,frec1,cd] = franalasso(F,f,lambda);
%      % Solve again with debiasing enabled
%      [c2,~,~,frec2,cd] = franalasso(F,f,lambda,'debias');
%      % Plot sparse coefficients
%      figure(1); plotframe(F,c1,'dynrange',50);
%      % Plot debiased coefficients
%      figure(2); plotframe(F,c2,'dynrange',50);
%      % Plot coefficients obtained by applying an analysis operator of a
%      % dual Gabor system to f
%      figure(3); plotframe(F,cd,'dynrange',50);
%
%      % Normalized MSE of the approximation
%      % frec is obtained by applying the synthesis operator of frame F
%      % to sparse coefficients c.
%      fprintf('Normalized MSE:                  %.2f dBn',20*log10(norm(f-frec1)/norm(f)));
%      fprintf('Normalized MSE (with debiasing): %.2f dBn',20*log10(norm(f-frec2)/norm(f)));
%
%      % Compare decay of coefficients sorted by absolute values
%      % (compressibility of coefficients)
%      figure(3);
%      semilogx([sort(abs(c1),'descend')/max(abs(c1)),...
%      sort(abs(c2),'descend')/max(abs(c2)),...
%      sort(abs(cd),'descend')/max(abs(cd))]);

%   is obtained by soft thresholding of the basis coefficients, with
