    In this paper, we study the low-rank matrix optimization problem, where the penalty term is the $\ell_p~(0<p<1)$ regularization. Inspired by the good performance of half thresholding function in sparse/low-rank recovery problems, we propose a singular value half thresholding (SVHT) algorithm to solve the $\ell_p$ regularized matrix optimization problem. The main iteration in SVHT algorithm makes … Read more

    We propose a framework for modeling and solving low-rank optimization problems to certifiable optimality. We introduce symmetric projection matrices that satisfy $Y^2 = Y$, the matrix analog of binary variables that satisfy $z^2 = z$, to model rank constraints. By leveraging regularization and strong duality, we prove that this modeling paradigm yields tractable convex optimization … Read more
