We propose a new framework – Square Root Principal Component Pursuit – for low-rank matrix recovery from observations corrupted with noise and outliers. Inspired by the square root Lasso, this new formulation does not require prior knowledge of the noise level. We show that a single, universal choice of the regularization parameter suffices to achieve reconstruction error proportional to the (a priori unknown) noise level. In comparison, previous formulations such as stable PCP rely on noise… Expand

This result shows that the proposed convex program recovers the low-rank matrix even though a positive fraction of its entries are arbitrarily corrupted, with an error bound proportional to the noise level, the first result that shows the classical Principal Component Analysis, optimal for small i.i.d. noise, can be made robust to gross sparse errors.

A notion of bounded di↵erence of gradients is defined, based on which it is rigorously proved that with suitable initialization, the proposed nonconvex optimization algorithm enjoys linear convergence to the global optima and exactly recovers the underlying low rank and sparse matrices under standard conditions such as incoherence and sparsity conditions.
