Inspired by techniques used for alternating optimization of nonconvex functions, we propose a simple yet effective algorithm with better trade-off between accuracy and computation time than the state-of-the-art for the nonconvex $\ell_0$ regularized optimization ($\ell_0$-RO) problem. Given an initial solution, we first find the vanilla solution to $\ell_0$-RO via a descent method (Nesterov’s AGP), to then estimate a new one by scaling the dictionary involved in $\ell_0$-RO, considering only a reduced number of its atoms.
