Exact Recovery Guarantees for Parameterized Nonlinear System Identification Problem under Sparse Disturbances or Semi-Oblivious Attacks

Haixiang Zhang, Baturalp Yalcin, Javad Lavaei +1

In this work, we study the problem of learning a nonlinear dynamical system by parameterizing its dynamics using basis functions. We assume that disturbances occur at each time ste…

A New Complexity Metric for Nonconvex Rank-one Generalized Matrix Completion

Haixiang Zhang, Baturalp Yalcin, Javad Lavaei +1

In this work, we develop a new complexity metric for an important class of low-rank matrix optimization problems in both symmetric and asymmetric cases, where the metric aims to qu…

Factorization Approach for Low-complexity Matrix Completion Problems: Exponential Number of Spurious Solutions and Failure of Gradient Methods

Baturalp Yalcin, Haixiang Zhang, Javad Lavaei +1

It is well-known that the Burer-Monteiro (B-M) factorization approach can efficiently solve low-rank matrix optimization problems under the RIP condition. It is natural to ask whet…
