$l_{2,p}$ Matrix Norm and Its Application in Feature Selection

Recently, $l_{2,1}$ matrix norm has been widely applied to many areas such as computer vision, pattern recognition, biological study and etc. As an extension of $l_1$ vector norm, the mixed $l_{2,1}$ matrix norm is often used to find jointly sparse solutions. Moreover, an efficient iterative algorithm has been designed to solve $l_{2,1}$-norm involved minimizations. Actually, computational studies have showed that $l_p$-regularization ($0
