Coherence-based Partial Exact Recovery Condition for OMP/OLS
  We address the exact recovery of the support of a k-sparse vector with Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and Orthogonal Least Squares (OLS) in a noiseless setting. We consider the scenario where OMP/OLS have selected good atoms during the first l iterations (l<k) and derive a new sufficient and worst-case necessary condition for their success in k steps. Our result is based on the coherence \mu of the dictionary and relaxes Tropp's well-known condition \mu<1/(2k-1) to the case where OMP/OLS have a partial knowledge of the support.
