Simultaneous Mixed Matrix Completion
Simultaneous Mixed Matrix Completion
F: Field
Input Collection A of mixed matrices (over F)
Find Value assignment αi ∈ F for each indeterminate xi
maximizing the rank of every matrix in A
Example
A =
x1 1
0 x2
,
1 + x1 0
1 x3
→
1 1
0 1
,
2 0
1 1
if F = F3
→ No solution if F = F2
Theorem (Harvey-Karger-Murota ’05)
If |F| > |A|, the simultaneous mixed matrix completion always has a
solution, which can be found in polytime.
