Chen and Donoho's "basis Pursuit" Method
Chen and Donoho have developed a procedure called basis pursuit for fitting a sparse set of sinusoids or other functions from an over-complete set. The method defines an optimal solution as the one that minimizes the L1 norm of the coefficients, so that the problem can be cast as a linear programming problem, for which efficient solution methods are available.
