After intensive research, heterogenous face recognition is still a challenging problem. The main difficulties are owing to the complex relationship between heterogenous face image spaces. The heterogeneity is always tightly coupled with…
We show that a matrix is a Hermitian positive semidefinite matrix whose nonzero entries have modulus 1 if and only if it similar to a direct sum of all $1's$ matrices and a 0 matrix via a unitary monomial similarity. In particular, the only…
In this article we develop new methods for exhibiting convex semialgebraic sets that are not spectrahedral shadows. We characterize when the set of nonnegative polynomials with a given support is a spectrahedral shadow in terms of sums of…
Finite linear least squares is one of the core problems of numerical linear algebra, with countless applications across science and engineering. Consequently, there is a rich and ongoing literature on algorithms for solving linear least…
This article is concerned with the problem of approximating a not necessarily bounded spectrahedral shadow, a certain convex set, by polyhedra. By identifying the set with its homogenization the problem is reduced to the approximation of a…
Let $\psi$ and $F$ be positive definite forms with integral coefficients of equal degree. Using the circle method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of identical representations of $\psi$ by $F$, provided $\psi$ is…
We investigate the symmetric inverse M-matrix problem from a geometric perspective. The central question in this geometric context is, which conditions on the k-dimensional facets of an n-simplex S guarantee that S has no obtuse dihedral…
By a result of Helton and McCullough, open bounded convex free semialgebraic sets are exactly open (matricial) solution sets D_L of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) L(X)>0. This paper gives a precise algebraic certificate for a polynomial…
In this paper the main results in arXiv:0901.3179v3, related to the matrix representation of polynomial maps, are restated in traditional way of linear algebra assuming that variable vectors are presented as column vectors. Some new results…
The affine inverse eigenvalue problem consists of identifying a real symmetric matrix with a prescribed set of eigenvalues in an affine space. Due to its ubiquity in applications, various instances of the problem have been widely studied in…
We consider a model that arises in integer programming, and show that all irredundant inequalities are obtained from maximal lattice-free convex sets in an affine subspace. We also show that these sets are polyhedra. The latter result…
While faces of a polytope form a well structured lattice, in which faces of each possible dimension are present, this is not true for general compact convex sets. We address the question of what dimensional patterns are possible for the…
The local and non-local vector Non-linear Schrodinger Equation (NLSE) with a general cubic non-linearity are considered in presence of a linear term characterized, in general, by a non-hermitian matrix which under certain condition…
The present paper is focused on the computation of the Lipschitz upper semicontinuity modulus of the feasible set mapping in the context of fully perturbed linear inequality systems; i.e., where all coefficients are allowed to be perturbed.…
Meshes are ubiquitous in visual computing and simulation, yet most existing machine learning techniques represent meshes only indirectly, e.g. as the level set of a scalar field or deformation of a template, or as a disordered triangle soup…
Let K, K' be convex cones residing in finite-dimensional real vector spaces E, E'. An element in the tensor product E \otimes E' is K \otimes K'-separable if it can be represented as finite sum \sum_l x_l \otimes x'_l with x_l \in K and…
The notion of symmetry is defined in the context of Linear and Integer Programming. Symmetric linear and integer programs are studied from a group theoretical viewpoint. We show that for any linear program there exists an optimal solution…
We show that any polyhedron forming a topological ball with an even number of quadrilateral sides can be partitioned into O(n) topological cubes, meeting face to face. The result generalizes to non-simply-connected polyhedra satisfying an…
We study the closure of the projection of the (nonconvex) cone of rank restricted positive semidefinite matrices onto subsets of the matrix entries. This defines the feasible sets for semidefinite completion problems with restrictions on…
