We study random submatrices of a large matrix A. We show how to approximately compute A from its random submatrix of the smallest possible size O(r log r) with a small error in the spectral norm, where r = ||A||_F^2 / ||A||_2^2 is the…

We introduce a convergent hierarchy of lower bounds on the minimum value of a real form over the unit sphere. The main practical advantage of our hierarchy over the real sum-of-squares (RSOS) hierarchy is that the lower bound at each level…
