We show that given an estimate $\widehat{A}$ that is close to a general high-rank positive semi-definite (PSD) matrix $A$ in spectral norm (i.e., $\|\widehat{A}-A\|_2 \leq \delta$), the simple truncated SVD of $\widehat{A}$ produces a…

In this paper, we revisit spectral sparsification for sums of arbitrary positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices. Concretely, for any collection of PSD matrices $\mathcal{A} = \{A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_r\} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, given…

Let $\mathbf S \in \mathbb R^{n \times n}$ satisfy $\|\mathbf 1-\mathbf S\|_2\le\epsilon n$, where $\mathbf 1$ is the all ones matrix and $\|\cdot\|_2$ is the spectral norm. It is well-known that there exists such an $\mathbf S$ with just…

This article is about finding the limit set for banded Toeplitz matrices. Our main result is a new approach to approximate the limit set $\Lambda(b)$ where $b$ is the symbol of the banded Toeplitz matrix. The new approach is geometrical and…

We study the approximability of two related problems on graphs with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges: $n$-Pairs Shortest Paths ($n$-PSP), where the goal is to find a shortest path between $O(n)$ prespecified pairs, and All Node Shortest Cycles…
