We extend the theory of matrix completion to the case where we make Poisson observations for a subset of entries of a low-rank matrix. We consider the (now) usual matrix recovery formulation through maximum likelihood with proper…
Matrix completion is a classical problem in data science wherein one attempts to reconstruct a low-rank matrix while only observing some subset of the entries. Previous authors have phrased this problem as a nuclear norm minimization…
An incoherent low-rank matrix can be efficiently reconstructed after observing a few of its entries at random, and then solving a convex program that minimizes the nuclear norm. In many applications, in addition to these entries,…
It is shown by Karp reduction that deciding the singularity of $(2^n - 1) \times (2^n - 1)$ sparse circulant matrices (SC problem) is NP-complete. We can write them only implicitly, by indicating values of the $2 + n(n + 1)/2$ eventually…
We show that it is coNP-complete to decide whether a given proof structure of pomset logic is a correct proof net, using the graph-theoretic used in a previous paper of ours (arXiv:1901.10247).
We show that P2T - the problem of deciding whether the edge set of a simple graph can be partitioned into two trees or not - is NP-complete.
We prove that the maximum independent set approximation problem with polylogarithmic approximation factor is P-SLOCAL-complete. Thus an efficient algorithm for the maximum independent set approximation in the LOCAL model implies efficient…
We improve and simplify the result of the part 4 of "Counting curves and their projections" (Joachim von zur Gathen, Marek Karpinski, Igor Shparlinski) by showing that counting roots of a sparse polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ is #P- and…
Matrix completion results deal with the question of when a partially specified symmetric matrix can be completed to a member of certain matrix cones. Results from positive semidefinite matrix completion and completely positive matrix…
In a graph, a perfect matching cut is an edge cut that is a perfect matching. Perfect Matching Cut (PMC) is the problem of deciding whether a given graph has a perfect matching cut, and is known to be NP-complete. We revisit the problem and…
We investigate sparse matrix bipartitioning -- a problem where we minimize the communication volume in parallel sparse matrix-vector multiplication. We prove, by reduction from graph bisection, that this problem is $\mathcal{NP}$-complete…
In a graph, a matching cut is an edge cut that is a matching. Matching Cut is the problem of deciding whether or not a given graph has a matching cut, which is known to be NP-complete even when restricted to bipartite graphs. It has been…
Given $2n$ points in the plane, it is well-known that there always exists a perfect straight-line non-crossing matching. We show that it is $NP$-complete to decide if a partial matching can be augmented to a perfect one, via a reduction…
The computational complexity of the MaxCut problem restricted to interval graphs has been open since the 80's, being one of the problems proposed by Johnson on his Ongoing Guide to NP-completeness, and has been settled as NP-complete only…
We prove that the problems of deciding whether a quadratic equation over a free group has a solution is NP-complete.
This paper considers the problem of completing a matrix with many missing entries under the assumption that the columns of the matrix belong to a union of multiple low-rank subspaces. This generalizes the standard low-rank matrix completion…
The problem of matrix completion and decomposition in the cone of positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices is a well-understood problem, with many important applications in areas such as linear algebra, optimization, and control theory. This…
We prove that the quiver problem is NP complete.
Suppose X is the complex zero set of a finite collection of polynomials in Z[x_1,...,x_n]. We show that deciding whether X contains a point all of whose coordinates are d_th roots of unity can be done within NP^NP (relative to the sparse…
Here we prove that counting maximum matchings in planar, bipartite graphs is #P-complete. This is somewhat surprising in the light that the number of perfect matchings in planar graphs can be computed in polynomial time. We also prove that…
