In this paper, we study the matrix denosing model $Y=S+X$, where $S$ is a low-rank deterministic signal matrix and $X$ is a random noise matrix, and both are $M\times n$. In the scenario that $M$ and $n$ are comparably large and the signals…

Minimization of the nuclear norm is often used as a surrogate, convex relaxation, for finding the minimum rank completion (recovery) of a partial matrix. The minimum nuclear norm problem can be solved as a trace minimization semidefinite…
Low rank matrix recovery is the focus of many applications, but it is a NP-hard problem. A popular way to deal with this problem is to solve its convex relaxation, the nuclear norm regularized minimization problem (NRM), which includes…
In the matrix sensing problem, one wishes to reconstruct a matrix from (possibly noisy) observations of its linear projections along given directions. We consider this model in the high-dimensional limit: while previous works on this model…

In an instance of the minimum eigenvalue problem, we are given a collection of $n$ vectors $v_1,\ldots, v_n \subset {\mathbb{R}^d}$, and the goal is to pick a subset $B\subseteq [n]$ of given vectors to maximize the minimum eigenvalue of…
We consider the problem of recovering an unknown low-rank matrix X with (possibly) non-orthogonal, effectively sparse rank-1 decomposition from measurements y gathered in a linear measurement process A. We propose a variational formulation…
Sparsity and rank functions are important ways of regularizing under-determined linear systems. Optimization of the resulting formulations is made difficult since both these penalties are non-convex and discontinuous. The most common remedy…
In this paper we study the matrix completion problem: Suppose $X \in {\mathbb R}^{n_r \times n_c}$ is unknown except for a known upper bound $r$ on its rank. By measuring a small number $m \ll n_r n_c$ of elements of $X$, is it possible to…
Many statistical studies are concerned with the analysis of observations organized in a matrix form whose elements are count data. When these observations are assumed to follow a Poisson or a multinomial distribution, it is of interest to…
