## Abstract (arXiv)

Deconvolution with a box (square wave) is a key operation for super-resolution with pixel-shift cameras. In general convolution with a box is not invertible. However, we can obtain perfect reconstructions of sparse signals using convex optimization. We give a direct proof that improves on the reconstruction bound that follows from previous results. We also show our bound is tight and matches an information theoretic limit.
