New majorization analysis improves nuclear norm minimization convergence rates

This paper introduces a new majorization analysis for the smoothed nuclear norm, demonstrating that the harmonic-mean weight operator provides a valid global quadratic majorizer. The research establishes sharp convergence rates for iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) methods in low-rank recovery problems. It also proves that the harmonic-mean weight operator is optimal among power-mean weights, outperforming traditional one-sided reweighting schemes. AI

IMPACT Establishes theoretical improvements for low-rank recovery algorithms, potentially impacting future machine learning model development.

    Tight Majorizations and Convergence Rates of Nuclear Norm Minimization IRLS

    arXiv:2608.23765v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) methods constitute a natural approach to nuclear norm minimization, but their convergence rates and the role of the weight operator have remained poorly understood. This paper establishes …
