In this paper, we propose a new greedy algorithm for sparse approximation, called SLS for Single L_1 Selection. SLS essentially consists of a greedy forward strategy, where the selection rule of a new component at each iteration is based on solving a least-squares optimization problem, penalized by the L_1 norm of the remaining variables. Then, the component with maximum amplitude is selected. Simulation results on difficult sparse deconvolution problems involving a highly correlated dictionary reveal the efficiency of the method, which outperforms popular greedy algorithms and Basis Pursuit Denoising when the solution is sparse.
