Fastest algorithm for finding the closest semi-definite matrix?

Given a real-valued, symmetric matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, I'm interested in finding the closest positive semi-definite matrix $X^*\in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$: $$ X^* = \mathop{\text{...

Finding the maximal component of a vector in sublinear time

Given a vector $u \in \Bbb R^n$, finding the value of the largest component of $u$ needs linear time in $n$. However, what if we additionally know that $u$ lies in some linear subspace $U \subset \Bbb ...

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 ...
