Optimization algorithms for Kronecker approximation of high-dimensional covariance matrices
I'm working with a high-dimensional covariance matrix and exploring Kronecker product approximations to make it computationally manageable.
Here's the setup:
I have a graph $G$ represented by a $D\...

block diagonal approximation of (SPD) matrix
I am interested in approximating a symmetric matrix in a block diagonal form, i.e. compute just some entries of the matrix located in blocks around the diagonal. Are there any theoretical guarantees ...

Iterative matrix inversion with $L^\infty$ norm
The usual conjugate gradient type algorithms for iteratively finding the inverse of a matrix applied to a vector, $x = A^{-1} y$, works by minimizing $\|Ax - y\|^2$ where $\| \cdot \|$ is the $L^2$-...

Find optimal value for a regularization parameter in generalized eigenvalue problem
Consider the generalized eigenvalue problem :
$ \Sigma_{XY} \Sigma_{YX} {W} = \lambda \Sigma_{XX} {W} $
where $\Sigma_{XX} $ and $\Sigma_{XY}$ are sample covariance matrices are of the matrices $X$...

Numerical linear algebra: how to compute $B^TC^{−1}B$ efficiently
Hi,
my question is similar to this one. I have to compute $B^TC^{−1}B$, where $C$ is a strictly positive definite $n\times n$ matrix and $B$ is $n\times m$.
The matrix $C$ is huge ($n$ up to a ...
