This paper develops a suite of algorithms for constructing low-rank approximations of an input matrix from a random linear image of the matrix, called a sketch. These methods can preserve structural properties of the input matrix, such as positive-semideni ...
We derive an algorithm of optimal complexity which determines whether a given matrix is a Cauchy matrix, and which exactly recovers the Cauchy points defining a Cauchy matrix from the matrix entries. Moreover, we study how to approximate a given matrix by ...
Dispersion quality has a large influence on the resulting properties of filled polymers, hybrids and nanocomposites in general. Reducing the van der Waals forces and therefore, matching the refractive index between the filler and the matrix should improve ...
Existing computational methods for life cycle costing (LCC) are few and appeared inconsistent with the very definition of LCC. This article improves the common matrix-based approach in life cycle assessment as applied to LCC, correcting previous errors. Re ...
The problem of finding the missing values of a matrix given a few of its entries, called matrix completion, has gathered a lot of attention in the recent years. Although the problem is NP-hard, Candes and Recht showed that it can be exactly relaxed if the ...
The aim of the work is to study interface formation between Al2O3 particles and Al(Ca) matrix in dependence of Ca content. Aluminium matrix composites (AMC) subjected to investigation were prepared by gas pressure assisted infiltration of alumina beds with ...
A waveguide for transmitting signals at terahertz (THz) frequencies, wherein said waveguide comprises at least a matrix and an insert piece having a waveguide channel, wherein said piece is inserted in said matrix. ...
Low-rank tensor completion addresses the task of filling in missing entries in multidimensional data. It has proven its versatility in numerous applications, including context aware recommender systems and multivariate function learning. To handle large-sc ...
We consider the approximate computation of spectral projectors for symmetric banded matrices. While this problem has received considerable attention, especially in the context of linear scaling electronic structure methods, the presence of small relative s ...
We investigate the buckling of a slender rod embedded in a soft elastomeric matrix through a combination of experiments, numerics and theory. Depending on the control parameters, both planar wavy (2D) or non-planar coiled (3D) configurations are observed i ...
