A typical approach to compute an approximate solution to such a prob- lem is based on ℓ1-relaxation. Unfortunately, evaluation of the level of accuracy of the ℓ1-relaxation in approximating the opti- mal solution of the original combinatorial problem is not easy to accomplish. In this poster, an alternative approach is proposed which provides an attractive solution for the ℓ0-norm minimiza- tion problem associated with segmentation of ARX models.
