Every sufficiently big matrix with small spectral norm has a nearby low-rank matrix if the distance is measured in the maximum norm (Udell & Townsend, SIAM J Math Data Sci, 2019). We use the Hanson--Wright inequality to improve the estimate…

In this paper we show error bounds for randomly subsampled rank-1 lattices. We pay particular attention to the ratio of the size of the subset to the size of the initial lattice, which is decisive for the computational complexity. In the…
