A Parallel Best-Response Algorithm with Exact Line Search for Nonconvex Sparsity-Regularized Rank Minimization
In this paper, we propose a convergent parallel best-response algorithm with
the exact line search for the nondifferentiable nonconvex sparsity-regularized
rank minimization problem. On the one hand, it exhibits a faster convergence
than subgradient algorithms and block coordinate descent algorithms. On the
other hand, its convergence to a stationary point is guaranteed, while ADMM
algorithms only converge for convex problems. Furthermore, the exact line
search procedure in the proposed algorithm is performed efficiently in
closed-form to avoid the meticulous choice of stepsizes, which is however a
common bottleneck in subgradient algorithms and successive convex approximation
algorithms. Finally, the proposed algorithm is numerically tested.Comment: Submitted to IEEE ICASSP 201
Guaranteed Minimum-Rank Solutions of Linear Matrix Equations via Nuclear Norm Minimization
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 identification and control, Euclidean embedding, and collaborative
filtering. Although specific instances can often be solved with specialized
algorithms, the general affine rank minimization problem is NP-hard. In this
paper, we show that if a certain restricted isometry property holds for the
linear transformation defining the constraints, the minimum rank solution can
be recovered by solving a convex optimization problem, namely the minimization
of the nuclear norm over the given affine space. We present several random
ensembles of equations where the restricted isometry property holds with
overwhelming probability. The techniques used in our analysis have strong
parallels in the compressed sensing framework. We discuss how affine rank
minimization generalizes this pre-existing concept and outline a dictionary
relating concepts from cardinality minimization to those of rank minimization
