We formulate as an inverse problem the construction of sparse parametric continuous curve models that fit a sequence of contour points. Our prior is incorporated as a regularization term that encourages rotation invariance and sparsity. We…
This paper considers random (non-Hermitian) circulant matrices, and proves several results analogous to recent theorems on non-Hermitian random matrices with independent entries. In particular, the limiting spectral distribution of a random…
The singular values $\sigma >1$ of an $n \times n$ involutory matrix $A$ appear in pairs $(\sigma, \frac{1}{\sigma}),$ while the singular values $\sigma = 1$ may appear in pairs $(1,1)$ or by themselves. The left and right singular vectors…
We thoroughly study a novel but basic combinatorial matrix completion problem: Given a binary incomplete matrix, fill in the missing entries so that every pair of rows in the resulting matrix has a Hamming distance within a specified range.…
Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with independent, identically distributed mean 0, variance 1 subgaussian entries. We prove that $$ \mathbb{P}(A\text{ has distinct singular values})\geq 1-e^{-cn} $$ for some $c>0$, confirming a…
For certain negative rational numbers k, called singular values, and associated with the symmetric group S_N on N objects, there exist homogeneous polynomials annihilated by each Dunkl operator when the parameter equals k. It was shown by…
We show that any submodular minimization (SM) problem defined on a linear constraint set with constraints having up to two variables per inequality, are 2-approximable in polynomial time. If the constraints are monotone (the two variables…
We define and solve classes of sparse matrix problems that arise in multilevel modeling and data analysis. The classes are indexed by the number of nested units, with two-level problems corresponding to the common situation in which data on…
In 1990 Subramanian defined the complexity class CC as the set of problems log-space reducible to the comparator circuit value problem (CCV). He and Mayr showed that NL \subseteq CC \subseteq P, and proved that in addition to CCV several…

The purpose of this article is to examine and limit the conditions in which the P complexity class could be equivalent to the NP complexity class. Proof is provided by demonstrating that as the number of clauses in a NP-complete problem…
This paper introduces a notion of decomposition and completion of sum-of-squares (SOS) matrices. We show that a subset of sparse SOS matrices with chordal sparsity patterns can be equivalently decomposed into a sum of multiple SOS matrices…
The McCarty Conjecture states that any McCarty Matrix (an $n\times n$ matrix $A$ with positive integer entries and each of the $2n$ row and column sums equal to $n$), can be additively decomposed into two other matrices, $B$ and $C$, such…
We derive a sufficient condition for a sparse random matrix with given numbers of non-zero entries in the rows and columns having full row rank. The result covers both matrices over finite fields with independent non-zero entries and…
We deploy algebraic complexity theoretic techniques for constructing symmetric determinantal representations of for00504925mulas and weakly skew circuits. Our representations produce matrices of much smaller dimensions than those given in…
Inductive Matrix Completion (IMC) is an important class of matrix completion problems that allows direct inclusion of available features to enhance estimation capabilities. These models have found applications in personalized recommendation…
We consider the following problem: Given a matrix A, find minimal subsets of columns of A with cardinality no larger than a given bound that are linear dependent or nearly so. This problem arises in various forms in optimization, electrical…
Based on the observation that $\mathbb{Q}^{(p-1) \times (p-1)}$ is isomorphic to a quotient skew polynomial ring, we propose a new method for $(p-1)\times (p-1)$ matrix multiplication over $\mathbb{Q}$, where $p$ is a prime number. The main…
We investigate the problem of completing partial matrices to rank-one matrices in the standard simplex. The motivation for studying this problem comes from statistics: A lack of eligible completion can provide a falsification test for…
The Skolem Problem asks, given an integer linear recurrence sequence (LRS), to determine whether the sequence contains a zero term or not. Its decidability is a longstanding open problem in theoretical computer science and automata theory.…
