Robust Approximate Cholesky Factorization of Rank-Structured Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
Abstract. Given a symmetric positive definite matrix A, we compute a structured approximate Cholesky factorization A RT R up to any desired accuracy, where R is an upper triangula...

Strictly Positive Definite Functions on a Real Inner Product Space
If f(t) = k=0 aktk converges for all t IR with all coefficients ak 0, then the function f(< x, y >) is positive definite on H

Newton's iterates can converge to non-stationary points
Abstract In this note we discuss the convergence of Newton's method for minimization. We present examples in which the Newton iterates satisfy the Wolfe conditions and the Hes...

Semigroup Kernels on Finite Sets
Complex objects can often be conveniently represented by finite sets of simpler components, such as images by sets of patches or texts by bags of words. We study the class of posi...
