Given a matrix $A$, a matrix nearness problem seeks an $X$ that most closely approximates $A$ in the sense of minimizing $\lVert A - X\rVert$ under a variety of constraints on $X$. A generalized matrix nearness problem seeks the same but…

We prove that for any real-valued matrix $X \in \R^{m \times n}$, and positive integers $r \ge k$, there is a subset of $r$ columns of $X$ such that projecting $X$ onto their span gives a $\sqrt{\frac{r+1}{r-k+1}}$-approximation to best…

Given a matrix $A$, the goal of the entrywise low-rank approximation problem is to find $\operatorname{argmin} \|A-B\|_p$ over all rank-$k$ matrices $B$, where $\| \cdot \|_p$ is the entrywise $\ell_p$ norm. When $p = 2$ this well-studied…
