A restricted isometry property (RIP) condition delta k + root K theta(k,1) < 1 is known to be sufficient for orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) to exactly recover every K-sparse signal x from measurements y = Phi x. This paper is devoted to demonstrate that this condition is sharp. We construct a specific matrix with delta(k) + root K theta(k,1) = 1 such that OMP cannot exactly recover some K-sparse signals.
