Low-rank matrix regression is a fundamental problem in data science with various applications in systems and control. Nuclear norm regularization has been widely applied to solve this problem due to its convexity. However, it suffers from…

Low rank matrix approximation (LRMA), which aims to recover the underlying low rank matrix from its degraded observation, has a wide range of applications in computer vision. The latest LRMA methods resort to using the nuclear norm…

In the area of sparse recovery, numerous researches hint that non-convex penalties might induce better sparsity than convex ones, but up until now those corresponding non-convex algorithms lack convergence guarantees from the initial…

The affine rank minimization problem consists of finding a matrix of minimum rank that satisfies a given system of linear equality constraints. Such problems have appeared in the literature of a diverse set of fields including system…

The $\ell_1$ norm is the tight convex relaxation for the $\ell_0$ "norm" and has been successfully applied for recovering sparse signals. For problems with fewer samplings, one needs to enhance the sparsity by nonconvex penalties such as…

We consider the problem of recovering a lowrank matrix M from a small number of random linear measurements. A popular and useful example of this problem is matrix completion, in which the measurements reveal the values of a subset of the…

We address the problem of estimating a sparse low-rank matrix from its noisy observation. We propose an objective function consisting of a data-fidelity term and two parameterized non-convex penalty functions. Further, we show how to set…

Given the superposition of a low-rank matrix plus the product of a known fat compression matrix times a sparse matrix, the goal of this paper is to establish deterministic conditions under which exact recovery of the low-rank and sparse…

In this work we consider numerical efficiency and convergence rates for solvers of non-convex multi-penalty formulations when reconstructing sparse signals from noisy linear measurements. We extend an existing approach, based on reduction…

We propose a general formulation of nonconvex and nonsmooth sparse optimization problems with convex set constraint, which can take into account most existing types of nonconvex sparsity-inducing terms, bringing strong applicability to a…

This paper presents a stochastic block-coordinate proximal Newton method for minimizing the sum of a blockwise Lipschitz-continuously differentiable function and a separable nonsmooth convex function. At each iteration, the method randomly…

In this paper, we propose a double iteratively reweighted algorithm to solve nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems, where both the objectives and constraint functions are formulated by concave compositions to promote group-sparse…

An explicit algorithm for the minimization of an $\ell_1$ penalized least squares functional, with non-separable $\ell_1$ term, is proposed. Each step in the iterative algorithm requires four matrix vector multiplications and a single…

In recent studies on sparse modeling, non-convex penalties have received considerable attentions due to their superiorities on sparsity-inducing over the convex counterparts. Compared with the convex optimization approaches, however, the…

Numerous applications in data mining and machine learning require recovering a matrix of minimal rank. Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) is a general framework for handling this kind of problems. Nuclear norm based convex surrogate…

Low-rank matrix recovery can be solved to statistical optimality by convex matrix optimization under the classical assumption of restricted isometry property (RIP). However, for large problems, the convex formulation is commonly replaced by…
