The problem of robust matrix completion—the recovery of a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix from a sampling of their superposition—has been addressed extensively in prior literature. Yet, much of this work has focused exclusively on the case in which the matrix sampling is done at random, as this scenario is amenable to theoretical analysis. In contrast, sampling with an arbitrary deterministic pattern is often more accommodating to hardware implementation; consequently, the problem of robust matrix completion under deterministic sampling is considered. To this end, a restricted approximate isometry property is proposed and used, along with a modified golfing scheme and a slightly strengthened incoherence condition, to prove that the latent low-rank and sparse matrices are uniquely recoverable via convex optimization with asymptotically high probability, providing the first exact-recovery theory for robust matrix completion with arbitrary deterministic sampling. A corresponding convex-optimization algorithm, driven by a traditional nuclear norm, is developed and then subsequently generalized by substituting a convolutional nuclear norm in order to cover a broader range of application scenarios. Empirical experiments on synthetic data verify the proposed theory while a battery of results on real-world images demonstrate the practical efficacy of the generalized algorithm for robust matrix recovery.
