Randomized Low-Memory Singular Value Projection
Affine rank minimization algorithms typically rely on calculating the
gradient of a data error followed by a singular value decomposition at every
iteration. Because these two steps are expensive, heuristic approximations are
often used to reduce computational burden. To this end, we propose a recovery
scheme that merges the two steps with randomized approximations, and as a
result, operates on space proportional to the degrees of freedom in the
problem. We theoretically establish the estimation guarantees of the algorithm
as a function of approximation tolerance. While the theoretical approximation
requirements are overly pessimistic, we demonstrate that in practice the
algorithm performs well on the quantum tomography recovery problem.Comment: 13 pages. This version has a revised theorem and new numerical

Randomized Dynamic Mode Decomposition
This paper presents a randomized algorithm for computing the near-optimal
low-rank dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). Randomized algorithms are emerging
techniques to compute low-rank matrix approximations at a fraction of the cost
of deterministic algorithms, easing the computational challenges arising in the
area of `big data'. The idea is to derive a small matrix from the
high-dimensional data, which is then used to efficiently compute the dynamic
modes and eigenvalues. The algorithm is presented in a modular probabilistic
framework, and the approximation quality can be controlled via oversampling and
power iterations. The effectiveness of the resulting randomized DMD algorithm
is demonstrated on several benchmark examples of increasing complexity,
providing an accurate and efficient approach to extract spatiotemporal coherent
structures from big data in a framework that scales with the intrinsic rank of
the data, rather than the ambient measurement dimension. For this work we
assume that the dynamics of the problem under consideration is evolving on a
low-dimensional subspace that is well characterized by a fast decaying singular
value spectrum
