We investigate the rank of random (symmetric) sparse matrices. Our main finding is that with high probability, any dependency that occurs in such a matrix is formed by a set of few rows that contains an overwhelming number of zeros. This…

In this paper we study the low rank matrix completion problem using tools from Schur complement. We give a sufficient and necessary condition such that the completed matrix is globally unique with given data. We assume the observed entries…

We revisit a formula that connects the minimal ranks of triangular parts of a matrix and its inverse and relate the result to structured rank matrices. We also address the generic minimal rank problem.

The completion of matrices with missing values under the rank constraint is a non-convex optimization problem. A popular convex relaxation is based on minimization of the nuclear norm (sum of singular values) of the matrix. For this…

Completing a data matrix X has become an ubiquitous problem in modern data science, with applications in recommender systems, computer vision, and networks inference, to name a few. One typical assumption is that X is low-rank. A more…

We study completion of partial matrices with nonnegative entries to matrices of nonnegative rank at most $r$ for some $r \in \mathbb{N}$. Most of our results are for $r \leq 3$. We show that a partial matrix with nonnegative entries has a…

This paper considers the problem of completing a matrix with many missing entries under the assumption that the columns of the matrix belong to a union of multiple low-rank subspaces. This generalizes the standard low-rank matrix completion…

Matrices of (approximate) low rank are pervasive in data science, appearing in recommender systems, movie preferences, topic models, medical records, and genomics. While there is a vast literature on how to exploit low rank structure in…

A sign pattern matrix is a matrix whose entries are from the set $\{+,-,0\}$. If $A$ is an $m\times n$ sign pattern matrix, the qualitative class of $A$, denoted $Q(A)$, is the set of all real $m\times n$ matrices $B=[b_{i,j}]$ with…

The minimum rank problem is to determine for a graph $G$ the smallest rank of a Hermitian (or real symmetric) matrix whose off-diagonal zero-nonzero pattern is that of the adjacency matrix of $G$. Here $G$ is taken to be a circulant graph,…

We consider the problem of noisy matrix completion, in which the goal is to reconstruct a structured matrix whose entries are partially observed in noise. Standard approaches to this underdetermined inverse problem are based on assuming…

We consider two matrix completion problems, in which we are given a matrix with missing entries and the task is to complete the matrix in a way that (1) minimizes the rank, or (2) minimizes the number of distinct rows. We study the…

Most of the existing works on provable guarantees for low-rank matrix completion algorithms rely on some unrealistic assumptions such that matrix entries are sampled randomly or the sampling pattern has a specific structure. In this work,…

Most recent results in matrix completion assume that the matrix under consideration is low-rank or that the columns are in a union of low-rank subspaces. In real-world settings, however, the linear structure underlying these models is…

For a simple graph, the minimum rank problem is to determine the smallest rank among the symmetric matrices whose off-diagonal nonzero entries occur in positions corresponding to the edges of the graph. Bounds on this minimum rank (and on…

Originally developed for imputing missing entries in low rank, or approximately low rank matrices, matrix completion has proven widely effective in many problems where there is no reason to assume low-dimensional linear structure in the…
