  We study sparse recovery with structured random measurement matrices having
independent, identically distributed, and uniformly bounded rows and with a
nontrivial covariance structure. This class of matrices arises from random
sampling of bounded Riesz systems and generalizes random partial Fourier
matrices. Our main result improves the currently available results for the null
space and restricted isometry properties of such random matrices. The main
novelty of our analysis is a new upper bound for the expectation of the
supremum of a Bernoulli process associated with a restricted isometry constant.
We apply our result to prove new performance guarantees for the CORSING method,
a recently introduced numerical approximation technique for partial
differential equations (PDEs) based on compressive sensing.
