Cover Story: Greedy algorithms are very popular methods for nonlinear sparse approximation with respect to dictionaries. Among others, the vector greedy algorithm can output the approximants simultaneously for a finite set of target elements. The authors introduce a new vector greedy algorithm—the Vector Weak Rescaled Pure Greedy Algorithm in a Hilbert space and a more general Banach space. They study the approximation properties of the new algorithms. The results show that this type of new algorithm is more efficient than other vector greedy algorithms. The results of this paper can be applied to the areas of signal vector processing and multi-task learning. View this paper
