A simple matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. For a (0,1)-matrix $F$, we say that a (0,1)-matrix $A$ has $F$ as a configuration if there is a submatrix of $A$ which is a row and column permutation of $F$ (trace is the set…

We consider the problem of computing matrix polynomials $p(X)$, where $X$ is a large dense matrix, with as few matrix-matrix multiplications as possible. More precisely, let $\Pi_{2^{m}}^*$ represent the set of polynomials computable with…

We consider a basic computational task of finding $s$ planted rank-1 $m \times n$ matrices in a linear subspace $\mathcal{U} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ where $\dim(\mathcal{U}) = R \ge s$. The work of Johnston-Lovitz-Vijayaraghavan…

Let $F_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix whose entries are bounded by $n^{\gamma}$ for some $\gamma>0$. Consider a randomly perturbed matrix $M_n=F_n+X_n$, where $X_n$ is a random symmetric matrix whose upper diagonal entries $x_{ij}$…

We consider unimodular matrices $M$ such that neither $M$ nor $M^{-1}$ contain zero entries. Matrices typically exhibit a trade-off: small $M$ imply large $M^{-1}$. We investigate rare cases where both remain small, classify these matrices…

A matrix is homogeneous if all of its entries are equal. Let $P$ be a $2\times 2$ zero-one matrix that is not homogeneous. We prove that if an $n\times n$ zero-one matrix $A$ does not contain $P$ as a submatrix, then $A$ has an $cn\times…

The entropy of an orthogonal matrix is defined. It provides a new interpretation of Hadamard matrices as those that saturate the bound for entropy.It appears to be a useful Morse function on the group manifold. It has sharp maxima and other…

Given a finite poset $\mathcal{P}$, a family $\mathcal{F}$ of elements in the Boolean lattice is induced-$\mathcal{P}$-saturated if $\mathcal{F}$ contains no copy of $\mathcal{P}$ as an induced subposet but every proper superset of…

Matrix completion is a fundamental problem that comes up in a variety of applications like the Netflix problem, collaborative filtering, computer vision, and crowdsourcing. The goal of the problem is to recover a k-by-n unknown matrix from…

It is known that the entropy function over a set of jointly distributed random variables is a submodular set function. However, not any submodular function is of this form. In this paper, we consider a family of submodular set functions,…

We consider the problem of exact low-rank matrix completion from a geometric viewpoint: given a partially filled matrix M, we keep the positions of specified and unspecified entries fixed, and study how the minimal completion rank depends…

Matrix Completion is the problem of recovering an unknown real-valued low-rank matrix from a subsample of its entries. Important recent results show that the problem can be solved efficiently under the assumption that the unknown matrix is…

An $n\times n$ matrix $M$ is called a \textit{fooling-set matrix of size $n$} if its diagonal entries are nonzero and $M_{k,\ell} M_{\ell,k} = 0$ for every $k\ne \ell$. Dietzfelbinger, Hromkovi{\v{c}}, and Schnitger (1996) showed that $n…

In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…

Sparse matrix reordering can significantly reduce the fill-in during matrix factorization, thereby decreasing the computational and storage requirements in sparse matrix computations. Finding a minimal fill-in ordering is known to be an…

We investigate the problem of completing partial matrices to rank-one matrices in the standard simplex. The motivation for studying this problem comes from statistics: A lack of eligible completion can provide a falsification test for…

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…
