Joint Sparse (solving joint norm)

Hi
How can i solve joint norm using CVX, for solving these form of problem;

min ||X||_2,1 s.t. ||Y-HX|| < err or min ||Y-HX||_2^2 + lambda*||AX||_2,1

Regards

What exactly is the 2,1 norm?

Is your 2,1 norm
norms(norms(X,2,2),1,1)
or perhaps
norms(norms(P,1,2),2,1)

norms Computation of multiple vector norms.
norms( X ) provides a means to compute the norms of multiple vectors
packed into a matrix or N-D array. This is useful for performing
max-of-norms or sum-of-norms calculations.

All of the vector norms, including the false "-inf" norm, supported
by NORM() have been implemented in the norms() command.
  norms(X,P)           = sum(abs(X).^P).^(1/P)
  norms(X)             = norms(X,2).
  norms(X,inf)         = max(abs(X)).
  norms(X,-inf)        = min(abs(X)).
If X is a vector, these computations are completely identical to
their NORM equivalents. If X is a matrix, a row vector is returned
of the norms of each column of X. If X is an N-D matrix, the norms
are computed along the first non-singleton dimension.

norms( X, [], DIM ) or norms( X, 2, DIM ) computes Euclidean norms
along the dimension DIM. norms( X, P, DIM ) computes its norms
along the dimension DIM.

Disciplined convex programming information:
    norms is convex, except when P<1, so an error will result if these
    non-convex "norms" are used within CVX expressions. norms is
    nonmonotonic, so its input must be affine.

It looks like your example in effect reshapes a vector into a matrix, then computes the 2-norms across the rows, then sums those results.

So here is a guess, which you should check (input numerical values for X, and make sure the calculation is correct).
sum(norms(reshape(X,M,N),2,2))
If this isn’t correct, it should be something similar, which you should be able to figure out.
