We give a combinatorial form of the Kadison-Singer problem, a famous problem in C*-algebra. This combinatorial problem, which has several minor variations, is a discrepancy question about vectors in C^n. Some partial results can be easily…
We give self-contained presentation of results related to the Kadison-Singer problem, which was recently solved by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava. This problem connects with unusually large number of areas including: operator algebras…
We use the method of interlacing families of polynomials introduced to prove two theorems known to imply a positive solution to the Kadison--Singer problem. The first is Weaver's conjecture $KS_{2}$ \cite{weaver}, which is known to imply…
We prove some new equivalences of the paving conjecture and obtain some estimates on the paving constants. In addition we give a new family of counterexamples to one of the Akemann-Anderson conjectures.
Spectral sparsification and discrepancy minimization are two well-studied areas that are closely related. Building on recent connections between these two areas, we generalize the "deterministic discrepancy walk" framework by Pesenti and…
The present work proposes a second-order time splitting scheme for a linear dispersive equation with a variable advection coefficient subject to transparent boundary conditions. For its spatial discretization, a dual Petrov--Galerkin method…
It is known that the famous, intractible 1959 Kadison-Singer problem in $C^{*}$-algebras is equivalent to fundamental unsolved problems in a dozen areas of research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and Engineering. The recent…
Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava (Annals of Mathematics 2014) solved the Kadison--Singer Problem by proving a strong form of Weaver's conjecture: they showed that for all $\alpha > 0$ and all lists of vectors of norm at most $\sqrt{\alpha}$…
We introduce and analyse a sparse spectral method for the solution of Volterra integral equations using bivariate orthogonal polynomials on a triangle domain. The sparsity of the Volterra operator on a weighted Jacobi basis is used to…
Singing voice detection (SVD), to recognize vocal parts in the song, is an essential task in music information retrieval (MIR). The task remains challenging since singing voice varies and intertwines with the accompaniment music, especially…
We adapt the arguments of Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava in their proof of the Kadison-Singer problem to prove improved paving estimates. Working with Anderson's paving formulation of Kadison-Singer instead of Weaver's vector balancing…
An "exact discretization" of the Schroedinger operator is considered and its direct and inverse scattering problems are solved. It is shown that a differential-difference nonlinear evolution equation depending on two arbitrary constants can…
Recently Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava gave a spectacular proof of a theorem which implies a positive solution to the Kadison-Singer problem. We extend (and slightly sharpen) this theorem to the realm of hyperbolic polynomials. A benefit…
Akemann and Anderson made a conjecture about ``paving'' projections in finite dimensional matrix algebras which, if true, would settle the well-known Kadison-Singer problem. We falsify their conjecture by an explicit seqence of…
In recent studies, diffusion models have shown promise as priors for solving audio inverse problems. These models allow us to sample from the posterior distribution of a target signal given an observed signal by manipulating the diffusion…
This work investigates the empirical performance of the sparse synthesis versus sparse analysis regularization for the ill-posed inverse problem of audio declipping. We develop a versatile non-convex heuristics which can be readily used…
Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava recently solved the Kadison-Singer problem by showing that if u_1, ..., u_m are column vectors in C^d such that \sum u_iu_i^* = I, then a set of indices S \subseteq {1, ..., m} can be chosen so that \sum_{i…
We present a new approach to solve the exponential retrieval problem. We derive a stable technique, based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of lag-covariance and crosscovariance matrices consisting of covariance coefficients…
Singing voice synthesis (SVS) aims to generate expressive and high-quality vocals from musical scores, requiring precise modeling of pitch, duration, and articulation. While diffusion-based models have achieved remarkable success in image…
Two major challenges of numeric analytic continuation---restoring the spectral density, $s(\omega)$, from the corresponding Matsubara correlator, $g(\tau)$---are (i) producing the most smooth/featureless answer for $s(\omega)$ without…
