We discuss a randomized strong rank-revealing QR factorization that effectively reveals the spectrum of a matrix $\textbf{M}$. This factorization can be used to address problems such as selecting a subset of the columns of $\textbf{M}$,…

Let $A$ be a random $m\times n$ matrix over the finite field $F_q$ with precisely $k$ non-zero entries per row and let $y\in F_q^m$ be a random vector chosen independently of $A$. We identify the threshold $m/n$ up to which the linear…

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…

Two landmark results in combinatorial random matrix theory, due to Koml\'os and Costello-Tao-Vu, show that discrete random matrices and symmetric discrete random matrices are typically nonsingular. In particular, in the language of graph…

We show that with high probability, random rank 1 matrices over a finite field are in (linearly) general position, at least provided their shape k x l is not excessively unbalanced. This translates into saying that the dimension of the…

An interval matrix is a matrix whose entries are intervals in the set of real numbers. Let $p , q $ be nonzero natural numbers and let $\mu =( [m_{i,j}, M_{i,j}])_{i,j}$ be a $p \times q$ interval matrix; given a $p \times q$ matrix $A$…

The minrank of a graph $G$ on the set of vertices $[n]$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is the minimum possible rank of a matrix $M\in\mathbb{F}^{n\times n}$ with nonzero diagonal entries such that $M_{i,j}=0$ whenever $i$ and $j$ are distinct…

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…
