We study the closure of the projection of the (nonconvex) cone of rank restricted positive semidefinite matrices onto subsets of the matrix entries. This defines the feasible sets for semidefinite completion problems with restrictions on…

Using techniques developed in [Lasserre02], we show that some minimum cardinality problems subject to linear inequalities can be represented as finite sequences of semidefinite programs. In particular, we provide a semidefinite…

We propose a convex optimization formulation with the nuclear norm and $\ell_1$-norm to find a large approximately rank-one submatrix of a given nonnegative matrix. We develop optimality conditions for the formulation and characterize the…

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…

Low-rank learning has attracted much attention recently due to its efficacy in a rich variety of real-world tasks, e.g., subspace segmentation and image categorization. Most low-rank methods are incapable of capturing low-dimensional…

Matrix representations are a powerful tool for designing efficient algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems such as matching, and linear matroid intersection and parity. In this paper, we initiate the study of matrix…

Low-rank approximation of a matrix by means of random sampling has been consistently efficient in its empirical studies by many scientists who applied it with various sparse and structured multipliers, but adequate formal support for this…

Recently, finding the sparsest solution of an underdetermined linear system has become an important request in many areas such as compressed sensing, image processing, statistical learning, and data sparse approximation. In this paper, we…

We consider the problem of minimizing a linear function over an affine section of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, with the additional constraint that the feasible matrix has prescribed rank. When the rank constraint is active,…

This letter proposes to estimate low-rank matrices by formulating a convex optimization problem with non-convex regularization. We employ parameterized non-convex penalty functions to estimate the non-zero singular values more accurately…

Given a limited number of entries from the superposition of a low-rank matrix plus the product of a known fat compression matrix times a sparse matrix, recovery of the low-rank and sparse components is a fundamental task subsuming…

Recht, Fazel, and Parrilo provided an analogy between rank minimization and $\ell_0$-norm minimization. Subject to the rank-restricted isometry property, nuclear norm minimization is a guaranteed algorithm for rank minimization. The…

The topic of recovery of a structured model given a small number of linear observations has been well-studied in recent years. Examples include recovering sparse or group-sparse vectors, low-rank matrices, and the sum of sparse and low-rank…

We present an analysis of sets of matrices with rank less than or equal to a specified number $s$. We provide a simple formula for the normal cone to such sets, and use this to show that these sets are prox-regular at all points with rank…

We focus on finding sparse and least-$\ell_1$-norm solutions for unconstrained nonlinear optimal control problems. Such optimization problems are non-convex and non-smooth, nevertheless recent versions of Newton method for under-determined…

We use techniques from (tracial noncommutative) polynomial optimization to formulate hierarchies of semidefinite programming lower bounds on matrix factorization ranks. In particular, we consider the nonnegative rank, the positive…

This paper considers the problem of recovering either a low rank matrix or a sparse vector from observations of linear combinations of the vector or matrix elements. Recent methods replace the non-convex regularization with $\ell_1$ or…

We describe several algorithms for matrix completion and matrix approximation when only some of its entries are known. The approximation constraint can be any whose approximated solution is known for the full matrix. For low rank…

In this manuscript, we research on the behaviors of surrogates for the rank function on different image processing problems and their optimization algorithms. We first propose a novel nonconvex rank surrogate on the general rank…

Low-rank matrices are pervasive throughout statistics, machine learning, signal processing, optimization, and applied mathematics. In this paper, we propose a novel and user-friendly Euclidean representation framework for low-rank matrices.…
