Low-rank matrix completion addresses the problem of completing a matrix from a certain set of generic specified entries. Over the complex numbers a matrix with a given entry pattern can be uniquely completed to a specific rank, called the…

We study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular set function subject to linear packing constraints. An instance of this problem consists of a matrix $A \in [0,1]^{m \times n}$, a vector $b \in [1,\infty)^m$, and a monotone…

Matrix completion is a modern missing data problem where both the missing structure and the underlying parameter are high dimensional. Although missing structure is a key component to any missing data problems, existing matrix completion…

A symmetric matrix $C$ is completely positive (CP) if there exists an entrywise nonnegative matrix $B$ such that $C=BB^T$. The CP-completion problem is to study whether we can assign values to the missing entries of a partial matrix (i.e.,…

Motivated by problems of comparative genomics and paleogenomics, in [Chauve et al., 2009], the authors introduced the Gapped Consecutive-Ones Property Problem (k,delta)-C1P: given a binary matrix M and two integers k and delta, can the…

We consider the problem of noisy 1-bit matrix completion under an exact rank constraint on the true underlying matrix $M^*$. Instead of observing a subset of the noisy continuous-valued entries of a matrix $M^*$, we observe a subset of…

In the fillable array problem one must maintain an array A[1..n] of $w$-bit entries subject to random access reads and writes, and also a $\texttt{fill}(\Delta)$ operation which sets every entry of to some $\Delta\in\{0,\ldots,2^w-1\}$. We…

In most of the network coding problems with $k$ messages, the existence of binary network coding solution over $\mathbb{F}_2$ depends on the existence of adequate sets of $k$-dimensional binary vectors such that each set comprises of…

We present a description of saturation in small $x$ deep inelastic scattering from power counting in a top-down effective theory derived from QCD. A factorization formula isolates the universal physics of the nucleus at leading power in…

A boolean matrix is blocky if its $1$-entries form a collection of 1-monochromatic submatrices that are disjoint in both rows and columns. Blocky matrices are precisely the set of boolean matrices with $\gamma_2$ factorization norm at most…

The problem of matrix completion and decomposition in the cone of positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices is a well-understood problem, with many important applications in areas such as linear algebra, optimization, and control theory. This…

Let $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$ and $\mathfrak{m}= (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the irredundant maximal ideal of $S$. For an ideal $I \subset S$, let $\mathrm{sat}(I)$ be the minimum number $k$…

In this paper, we present a unified analysis of matrix completion under general low-dimensional structural constraints induced by {\em any} norm regularization. We consider two estimators for the general problem of structured matrix…

In this paper, we consider saturation problems related to the celebrated Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres convex polygon problem. For each $n \ge 7$, we construct a planar point set of size $(7/8) \cdot 2^{n-2}$ which is saturated for convex $n$-gons.…

A sparsity pattern in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$, for $m\geq n$, is a vector subspace of matrices admitting a basis consisting of canonical basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$. We represent a sparsity pattern by a matrix with…

We consider the problem of reconstructing a low rank matrix from a subset of its entries and analyze two variants of the so-called Alternating Minimization algorithm, which has been proposed in the past. We establish that when the…

We study the problem of low-rank matrix completion for symmetric matrices. The minimum rank of a completion of a generic partially specified symmetric matrix depends only on the location of the specified entries, and not their values, if…

The fastest known algorithms for dealing with structured matrices, in the sense of the displacement rank measure, are randomized. For handling classical displacement structures, they achieve the complexity bounds…

The problem of finding the missing values of a matrix given a few of its entries, called matrix completion, has gathered a lot of attention in the recent years. Although the problem under the standard low rank assumption is NP-hard,…

For a fixed graph $F,$ the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$ is called the $F$-saturation number. The asymptotics of the $F$-saturation number of the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ for constant $p\in(0,1)$…
