Estimating covariance matrices with high-dimensional complex data presents significant challenges, particularly concerning positive definiteness, sparsity, and numerical stability. Existing robust sparse estimators often fail to guarantee…

For many applications, it is convenient to have good upper bounds for the norm of the inverse of a given matrix. In this paper, we obtain such bounds when A is a Nekrasov matrix, by means of a scaling matrix transforming A into a strictly…

We consider the problem of testing for the presence (or detection) of an unknown sparse signal in additive white noise. Given a fixed measurement budget, much smaller than the dimension of the signal, we consider the general problem of…

We consider an optimization problem where the decision variable is a string of bounded length. For some time there has been an interest in bounding the performance of the greedy strategy for this problem. Here, we provide weakened…

We give a short argument that yields a new lower bound on the number of subsampled rows from a bounded, orthonormal matrix necessary to form a matrix with the restricted isometry property. We show that a matrix formed by uniformly…

We show how the numerical range of a matrix can be used to bound the optimal value of certain optimization problems over real tensor product vectors. Our bound is stronger than the trivial bounds based on eigenvalues, and can be computed…

We first present a determinant inequality related to partial traces for positive semidefinite block matrices. Our result extends a result of Lin [Czech. Math. J. 66 (2016)] and improves a result of Kuai [Linear Multilinear Algebra 66…

We study largest singular values of large random matrices, each with mean of a fixed rank $K$. Our main result is a limit theorem as the number of rows and columns approach infinity, while their ratio approaches a positive constant. It…

In this manuscript we consider denoising of large rectangular matrices: given a noisy observation of a signal matrix, what is the best way of recovering the signal matrix itself? For Gaussian noise and rotationally-invariant signal priors,…

We study the statistical limits of both detecting and estimating a rank-one deformation of a symmetric random Gaussian tensor. We establish upper and lower bounds on the critical signal-to-noise ratio, under a variety of priors for the…

Given a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices, partitioned in k equal parts such that every hyperedge includes one vertex from each part, the k-dimensional matching problem asks whether there is a disjoint collection of the hyperedges which…

Recent work has established that, for every positive integer $k$, every $n$-node graph has a $(2k-1)$-spanner on $O(f^{1-1/k} n^{1+1/k})$ edges that is resilient to $f$ edge or vertex faults. For vertex faults, this bound is tight. However,…

We present decay bounds for a broad class of Hermitian matrix functions where the matrix argument is banded or a Kronecker sum of banded matrices. Besides being significantly tighter than previous estimates, the new bounds closely capture…

We propose methodology for estimation of sparse precision matrices and statistical inference for their low-dimensional parameters in a high-dimensional setting where the number of parameters $p$ can be much larger than the sample size. We…

In this letter, we first construct a counter example to show that for any given positive integer $K\geq 2$ and for any $\frac{1}{\sqrt{K+1}}\leq t<1$, there always exist a $K-$sparse $\x$ and a matrix $\A$ with the restricted isometry…
