Disjunctive Branch-and-Bound for Certifiably Optimal Low-Rank Matrix Completion

Low-rank matrix completion consists of computing a matrix of minimal complexity that recovers a given set of observations as accurately as possible. Unfortunately, existing methods for matrix completion are heuristics that, while highly scalable and often identifying high-quality solutions, do not provide an instance-wise certificate of optimality. We reexamine matrix completion with an optimality-oriented eye. … Read more
