Many applications require recovering a matrix of minimal rank within an affine constraint set, with matrix completion a notable special case. Because the problem is NP-hard in general, it is common to replace the matrix rank with the…

A compact space X is I-favorable if, and only if X can be representing as a limit of $\sigma$-complete inverse system of compact metrizable spaces with skeletal bonding maps.

Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…

We consider complex sample covariance matrices $M_N=\frac{1}{N}YY^*$ where $Y$ is a $N \times p$ random matrix with i.i.d. entries $Y_{ij}, 1\leq i\leq N, 1\leq j \leq p$ with distribution $F$. Under some regularity and decay assumption on…

A class of linear positive, trace preserving maps in $M_n$ is given in terms of affine maps in $\bBR^{n^2-1}$ which map the closed unit ball into itself.

In the space of orientation-preserving circle maps that are not necessarily surjective nor injective, the rotation number does not vary continuously. Each map where one of these discontinuities occurs is itself discontinuous and we can…

Consider a matrix function f defined for Hermitian matrices. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. We derive new results for the absolute structured condition number of the matrix function and we derive new bounds for the perturbation…

Let S be a subset of the unit disk, and let F(s) denote the class of completely multiplicative functions f such that f(p) is in S for all primes p. The authors' main concern is which numbers arise as mean-values of functions in F(s). More…

We study the possibility of a continuous extension of a class of mappings to an isolated point on the boundary of a domain. We show that if some characteristic of this mapping is integrable on almost all spheres in the neighborhood of at…

The aim of this work is to characterize linear maps of inner pro\-duct infinite-dimensional vector spaces where the Moore-Penrose inverse exists. This MP inverse generalizes the well-known Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix $A\in…

We exhibit a polynomial time computable plane curve GAMMA that has finite length, does not intersect itself, and is smooth except at one endpoint, but has the following property. For every computable parametrization f of GAMMA and every…

Rank-constrained matrix problems appear frequently across science and engineering. The convergence analysis of iterative algorithms developed for these problems often hinges on local error bounds, which correlate the distance to the…

We prove that, for every decreasing sequence {a \sb k} of natural numbers, there exists a map f: X --> X with cat (f\sp k)=a\sb k.

A widely used approach to compute the action $f(A)v$ of a matrix function $f(A)$ on a vector $v$ is to use a rational approximation $r$ for $f$ and compute $r(A)v$ instead. If $r$ is not computed adaptively as in rational Krylov methods,…

This note deals with the direct and inverse spectral analysis for a class of infinite band symmetric matrices. This class corresponds to operators arising from difference quations with usual and inner boundary conditions. We give a…

Consider $d$ disjoint closed subintervals of the unit interval and consider an orientation preserving expanding map which maps each of these subintervals to the whole unit interval. The set of points where all iterates of this expanding map…

The classification of separable operator spaces and systems is commonly believed to be intractable. We analyze this belief from the point of view of Borel complexity theory. On one hand we confirm that the classification problems for…

Consider a continuous surjective self map of the open annulus with degree d > 1. It is proved that the number of Nielsen classes of periodic points is maximum possible whenever f has a completely invariant essential continuum. The same…

We classify certain algebras of matrix-valued cross-sections over an annulus up to complete isometric isomorphism, based on topological bundle invariants. In particular, we study sections of matrix bundles which are continuous on the…

Let $F: C^n \rightarrow C^m$ be a polynomial map with $degF=d \geq 2$. We prove that $F$ is invertible if $m = n$ and $\sum^{d-1}_{i=1} JF(\alpha_i)$ is invertible for all $i$, which is trivially the case for invertible quadratic maps. More…
