%                l-ALPS(#) algorithm - Beta Version
% =========================================================================
% Algebraic Pursuit (ALPS) algorithm with l-memory acceleration. 
% 
% Detailed discussion on the algorithm can be found in section III in 
% [1] "On Accelerated Hard Thresholding Methods for Sparse Approximation", written
% by Volkan Cevher, Technical Report, 2011.
% =========================================================================
% INPUT ARGUMENTS:
% y                         M x 1 undersampled measurement vector.
% Phi                       M x N regression matrix.
% K                         Sparsity of underlying vector x* or desired
%                           sparsity of solution.
% params                    Structure of parameters. These are:
%
%    tol,...                Early stopping tolerance. Default value: tol =
%                           1-e5
%    ALPSiters,...          Maximum number of algorithm iterations. Default
%                           value: 300. 
%    solveNewtonb,...       If solveNewtonb == 1: Corresponds to solving a 
%                           Newton system restricted to a sparse support. 
%                           It is implemented via conjugate gradients.  
%                           If solveNewtonb == 0: Step size selection as described
%                           in eqs. (12) and (13) in [1]. 
%                           Default value: solveNewtonb = 0.
%    gradientDescentx,...   If gradientDescentx == 1: single gradient
%                           update of x_{i+1} restricted ot its support with 
%                           line search. Default value: gradientDescentx =
%                           1.
%    solveNewtonx,...       If solveNewtonx == 1: Akin to Hard Thresholding Pursuit
%                           (c.f. Simon Foucart, "Hard Thresholding Pursuit," 
%                           preprint, 2010). Default vale: solveNewtonx = 0
%    tau,...                Variable that controls the momentum in
%                           non-memoryless case. Ignored in memoryless
%                           case. Default value: tau = 1/2.
%                           Special cases:                               
%                               - tau = -1: momentum step size is automatically
%                               optimized in every step.
%                               - tau as a function handle: user defined
%                               behavior of tau momentum term.
%    mu,...                 Variable that controls the step size selection. 
%                           When mu = 0, step size is computed adaptively 
%                           per iteration. Default value: mu = 0. 
%    cg_maxiter,...         Maximum iterations for Conjugate-Gradients method.
%    cg_tol                 Tolerance variable for Conjugate-Gradients method.  
% =========================================================================
% OUTPUT ARGUMENTS:
% x_hat                     N x 1 recovered K-sparse vector.
% numiter                   Number of iterations executed.
% x_path                    Keeps a series of computed N x 1 K-sparse vectors 
%                           until the end of the iterative process.
