In this talk, we present a unifying approach for exploring solution uniqueness and robust recovery for sparse regularization problem with a closed gauge . We formulate the Lagrange dual problem (which is a convex optimization problem with an inequality constraint) for this problem, but the strong duality could not hold since this problem is degenerate in general. Fortunately, we find that the Lagrange dual problem for this dual problem is the original problem and Slater’s condition hold and hence the strong duality hold. Therefore, the solution set to the original problem is the Lagrange multiplier set for its dual problem and is same for any solution to this dual problem. Based on criteria for uniqueness of the Lagrange multipliers for its dual problem, we obtain several equivalent sufficient conditions for solution uniqueness of the original problem , which are also necessary conditions under some closedness condition. We also prove that these sufficient conditions are sufficient and necessary conditions for sharpness solution to the original problem, which ensures the robust recovery. Some applications to slope sparse regularization and sparse analysis regularization are given.
