Trading Group Theory for Randomness
, 1985
"... In a previous paper [BS] we proved, using the elements of the Clwory of nilyotenf yroupu, that some of the /undamcn-la1 computational problems in mat & proup, belong to NP. These problems were also ahown to belong to CONP, assuming an unproven hypofhedi.9 concerning finilc simple Q ’ oup,. The a ..."

Slicing the Truth: On the Computability Theoretic and Reverse Mathematical Analysis of . . .
- INSTITUTE FOR MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE, WORLD SCIENTIFIC
"... In this expository article, we discuss two closely related approaches to studying the relative strength of mathematical principles: computable mathematics and reverse mathematics. Drawing our examples from combinatorics and model theory, we explore a variety of phenomena and techniques in these area ..."

in these areas. We begin with variations on König’s Lemma, and give an introduction to reverse mathematics and related parts of computability theory. We then focus on Ramsey’s Theorem as a case study in the computability theoretic and reverse mathematical analysis of com-binatorial principles. We study Ramsey’s
Matrix factorization with Binary Components
"... Motivated by an application in computational biology, we consider low-rank ma-trix factorization with {0, 1}-constraints on one of the factors and optionally con-vex constraints on the second one. In addition to the non-convexity shared with other matrix factorization schemes, our problem is further ..."

is further complicated by a com-binatorial constraint set of size 2m·r, wherem is the dimension of the data points and r the rank of the factorization. Despite apparent intractability, we provide − in the line of recent work on non-negative matrix factorization by Arora et al. (2012) − an algorithm
