Maximizing the norm of a sum of Hermitian matrices

Consider the following problem: Problem: Given $n\times n$-Hermitian matrices $A_1,\dots,A_r$, find $e_1,\dots,e_r\in\{-1,1\}$ such that $\|e_1A_1+\dots+e_rA_r\|_\infty$ is maximized. Here the norm is ...

Optimizing the condition number

Suppose I have a set $S$ of $N$ vectors in $W=\mathbb{R}^m,$ with $N \gg m.$ I want to choose a subset $\{v_1, \dots, v_m\}$ of $S$ in such a way that the condition number of the matrix with columns $...

Dimension independent computational complexity of singular value decomposition

Suppose $X$ is a $m \times n$ real matrix, which has only $k$ number of nonzero elements ($k \ll mn$). Given a vector $y$, the sparsity of $X$ allows $X y$ to be computed in $O(k)$ time which is ...

Row subset selection of matrix to optimize condition number

Given a matrix $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{C}^{N\times M}$ with $N \gg M$. This matrix results from a linear equation system and has a certain structure (however, I do not think that details provide any ...
