Let $\mathbf{A}_{n,m;k}$ be a random $n \times m$ matrix with entries from some field $\mathbb{F}$ where there are exactly $k$ non-zero entries in each column, whose locations are chosen independently and uniformly at random from the set of…

We study the column subset selection problem with respect to the entrywise $\ell_1$-norm loss. It is known that in the worst case, to obtain a good rank-$k$ approximation to a matrix, one needs an arbitrarily large $n^{\Omega(1)}$ number of…

Generalized Zeckendorf decompositions are expansions of integers as sums of elements of solutions to recurrence relations. The simplest cases are base-$b$ expansions, and the standard Zeckendorf decomposition uses the Fibonacci sequence.…

We propose an information-theoretic framework for matrix completion. The theory goes beyond the low-rank structure and applies to general matrices of "low description complexity". Specifically, we consider $m\times n$ random matrices…

In this work, we study a variant of nonnegative matrix factorization where we wish to find a symmetric factorization of a given input matrix into a sparse, Boolean matrix. Formally speaking, given $\mathbf{M}\in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times m}$, we…

We introduce a lifting of West's stack-sorting map $s$ to partition diagrams, which are combinatorial objects indexing bases of partition algebras. Our lifting $\mathscr{S}$ of $s$ is such that $\mathscr{S}$ behaves in the same way as $s$…

We introduce a family of univariate polynomials indexed by integer partitions. At prime powers, they count the number of subspaces in a finite vector space that transform under a regular diagonal matrix in a specified manner. This…

We study copositive matrices which admit a decomposition into a sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a matrix with nonnegative entries. Our main result shows that if the off-diagonal entries of a copositive matrix are nondecreasing in…

Every m by n matrix A with rank r has exactly r independent rows and r independent columns. The fact has become the most fundamental theorem in linear algebra such that we may favor it in an unconscious way. The sole aim of this paper is to…

The concepts of differentiation and integration for matrices are known. As far as each matrix is differentiable, it is not clear a priori whether a given matrix is integrable or not. Recently some progress was obtained for diagonalizable…

Suppose we are given a matrix that is formed by adding an unknown sparse matrix to an unknown low-rank matrix. Our goal is to decompose the given matrix into its sparse and low-rank components. Such a problem arises in a number of…

Let $a,b$ be fixed positive coprime integers. For a positive integer $g$, write $W_k(g)$ for the set of lattice paths from the startpoint $(0,0)$ to the endpoint $(ga,gb)$ with steps restricted to $\{(1,0), (0,1)\}$, having exactly $k$…

We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…

For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…

This paper considers the problem of testing for latent structure in large symmetric data matrices. The goal here is to develop statistically principled methodology that is flexible in its applicability, computationally efficient, and…

This paper considers the problem of completing a matrix with many missing entries under the assumption that the columns of the matrix belong to a union of multiple low-rank subspaces. This generalizes the standard low-rank matrix completion…

Let $n \geq r \geq s \geq 0$ be integers and $\mathcal{F}$ a family of $r$-subsets of $[n]$. Let $W_{r,s}^{\mathcal{F}}$ be the higher inclusion matrix of the subsets in ${\mathcal F}$ vs. the $s$-subsets of $[n]$. When $\mathcal{F}$…

Let $a_{i1}x_1+\cdots+a_{ik}x_k=0$, $i\in[m]$ be a balanced homogeneous system of linear equations with coefficients $a_{ij}$ from a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We say that a solution $x=(x_1,\ldots, x_k)$ with $x_1,\ldots, x_k\in…

The application of binary matrices are numerous. Representing a matrix as a mixture of a small collection of latent vectors via low-rank decomposition is often seen as an advantageous method to interpret and analyze data. In this work, we…

Levels and sublevels in arrangements -- and, dually, $k$-sets and $(\leq k)$-sets -- are fundamental notions in discrete and computational geometry and natural generalizations of convex polytopes, which correspond to the $0$-level. A…
