A common data analysis task is the reduced-rank regression problem: $$\min_{\textrm{rank-}k \ X} \|AX-B\|,$$ where $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times c}$ and $B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ are given large matrices and $\|\cdot\|$ is some norm.…

We study the computational model where we can access a matrix $\mathbf{A}$ only by computing matrix-vector products $\mathbf{A}\mathrm{x}$ for vectors of the form $\mathrm{x} = \mathrm{x}_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathrm{x}_q$. We prove…

It is well known that the affine matrix rank minimization problem is NP-hard and all known algorithms for exactly solving it are doubly exponential in theory and in practice due to the combinational nature of the rank function. In this…

Given a positive integer k, it is natural to ask for a formula for the distance between a given density matrix (i.e., mixed quantum state) and the set of density matrices of rank at most k. This problem has already been solved when…
We consider the least-squares approximation of a matrix C in the set of doubly stochastic matrices with the same sparsity pattern as C. Our approach is based on applying the well-known Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to a…
The matrix completion problem aims to reconstruct a low-rank matrix based on a revealed set of possibly noisy entries. Prior works consider completing the entire matrix with generalization error guarantees. However, the completion accuracy…
