The low-rank matrix approximation problem with respect to the entry-wise l∞-norm is the following: given a matrix M and a factorization rank r, find a matrix X whose rank is at most r and that minimizes max_i,j | M_ij − X_ij |. In this paper, we prove that the decision variant of this problem for r = 1 is NP-complete using a reduction from the problem ‘not all equal 3SAT’. We also analyze several cases when the problem can be solved in polynomial time, and propose a simple practical heuristic algorithm which we apply on the problem of the recovery of a quantized low-rank matrix, that is, to the problem of recovering a low-rank matrix whose entries have been rounded up to some accuracy.

We prove that continuous A-bilinear pairings on the ring of Laurent series that are invariant under continuous automorphisms coincide, up to a constant, with the pairing given by the residue of a differential form over any commutative associative ring with identity. ...

We investigate a special ansats that allows for an iterative solution of the constant Yang-Baxter equation. Testing this ansatz, we construct four sequences of the constant R-matrices. In each sequence the R-matrices act on the tensor squares of vector spaces of linearly growing dimensions. Each R-matrix also depends on a single complex parameter.
By analyzing the ...

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

B.Josephson (Nobel Prize, 1973) predicted a tunnelling effect for a system of two superconductors separated by a narrow dielectric (such a system is called Josephson junction): existence of a supercurrent through it and equations governing it. The overdamped Josephson junction is modeled by the family of differential equations on the 2-torus, dθdτ=1ω(cosθ+B+Acosτ), which is known as ...

Anosov flows have a long and rich history, firstly motivated by the
study of geodesic flows in negative curvature surface by Anosov and Sinai.
Not every closed manifold admits an Anosov flow for well-known reasons:
the fundamental group of a 3-manifold M admitting an Anosov flow must
have exponential growth, and M must be universally covered by R3. Nevertheless,
there ...

In many quantum applications it is important to know whether or not a Bell nonlocal two-qudit state exhibits its nonlocality under correlation scenarios with some given numbers S1,S2≥1 of generalized quantum measurements at two sites. In the present article, we find analytically a new general locality condition sufficient for a nonseparable Werner state with a ...

Chow polylogarithms are some special functions arising in explicit description of the Beilinson regulator map. The most interesting functional equation for this function reflects its vanishing on the boundary in the Bloch's cycle complex. We show that this functional equation formally follows from more simple ones, namely skew-symmetry, functoriality and multiplicativity.
To prove this, we study ...

This paper investigates the problem of statistical inference for a mixture distribution consisting of a discrete and a continuous component, with a particular focus on the class of rational-infinitely divisible distributions. We consider non-parametric estimation of both components of the mixture as well as the quasi-L{é}vy measure, assuming that the mixture belongs to the class ...

In this paper, we construct strong approximations for discrete-time Markov chains weakly converging to continuous diffusion processes, as well as for their perturbed counterparts. Under the assumption of bounded coefficients, we construct closely coupled versions of these processes on a shared probability space. In particular, for both non-degenerate and degenerate cases, we maximize the probability ...

The Hough transform (HT) is widely used in computer vision, tomography, and neural networks. Numerous algorithms for HT computation have been proposed, making their systematic comparison essential. However, existing comparative methodologies are either non-universal and limited to certain HT formulations, or task-oriented, relying on application-specific criteria that do not fully capture algorithmic properties. This paper ...

In this paper the structural stability of generic families of vector fields of the PC-HC class on the two-dimensional sphere is proved. A classification of these families up to moderate equivalence in neighborhoods of their large bifurcation supports is presented, based on such invariants as the configuration and the characteristic set. The realization lemma is proved. ...

A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

We deal with the global in time weak solutions to the 1D compressible Navier-Stokes system of equations for large discontinuous initial data and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions of three standard types. We prove the Lipschitz-type continuous dependence of the solution $(\eta,u,\theta)$, in a norm slightly stronger than $L^{2,\infty}(Q)\times L^2(Q)\times L^2(Q)$, on the initial data $(\eta^0,u^0,e^0)$ in a ...

We investigate the interplay between the dimension of the space of static potentials and the geometric and topological structure of the underlying static three-manifold. A partial classification of boundaryless static manifolds is obtained in terms of this dimension. We also treat the case of static manifolds with boundary. In particular, we prove that if a ...

In this paper we study the problem of total derivability in context-free, noncontracting, and context-sensitive grammars. Given a grammar and a terminal word, one has to determine whether there exists a derivation of this word which uses each production no less than a given number of times. It is proved that the problem of total ...

Изучаются иерархии проблем общезначимости для префиксных фрагментов вероятностной логики с кванторами по пропозициональным формулам, обозначаемой QPL, и её вариантов. Доказывается: если подполе F вещественных чисел определимо в стандартной модели арифметики посредством формулы второго порядка, не содержащей кванторов по множествам, то проблема общезначимости над F-значными вероятностными структурами для $\Sigma_4$-QPL-предложений является $\Pi^1_1$-полной и, как следствие, соответствующая иерархия проблем общезначимости схлопывается. Более того, при ...

Наследственный класс — множество графов, замкнутое относительно удаления вершин. Каждый такой класс имеет каноническое описание посредством минимальных запрещенных порожденных фрагментов. Задача о вершинной 3-раскраске (задача 3-ВР) для заданного графа состоит в том, чтобы определить, а можно ли множество его вершин разбить на три подмножества попарно несмежных вершин. Известна дихотомия сложности этой задачи для всех наследственных ...

We study the algorithmic complexity of the cooperative card game Hanabi. The feature of Hanabi is that players see each other’s cards but not their own, and exchange information through hints. Even in the model with one player who has full information about the deck, Hanabi remains NP-hard. We found the minimal parameters ofthe game ...

We continue to develop the concept of studying the ε-optimal policy for Average Reward Markov Decision Processes (AMDP) by reducing it to Discounted Markov Decision Processes (DMDP).
