Non-convex gradient descent is a common approach for estimating a low-rank $n\times n$ ground truth matrix from noisy measurements, because it has per-iteration costs as low as $O(n)$ time, and is in theory capable of converging to a…

A matrix algorithm is said to be superfast (that is, runs at sublinear cost) if it involves much fewer scalars and flops than the input matrix has entries. Such algorithms have been extensively studied and widely applied in modern…

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…

To determine whether an $n\times n$-matrix has rank at most $r$ it suffices to check that the $(r+1)\times (r+1)$-minors have rank at most $r$. In other words, to describe the set of $n\times n$-matrices with the property of having rank at…
