AbstractVarious applications in numerical linear algebra and computer science are related to selecting the $$r\times r$$ r × r submatrix of maximum volume contained in a given matrix $$A\in \mathbb R^{n\times n}$$ A ∈ R n × n . We propose a new greedy algorithm of cost $$\mathcal O(n)$$ O ( n ) , for the case A symmetric positive semidefinite (SPSD) and we discuss its extension to related optimization problems such as the maximum ratio of volumes. In the second part of the paper we prove that any SPSD matrix admits a cross approximation built on a principal submatrix whose approximation error is bounded by $$(r+1)$$ ( r + 1 ) times the error of the best rank r approximation in the nuclear norm. In the spirit of recent work by Cortinovis and Kressner we derive some deterministic algorithms, which are capable to retrieve a quasi optimal cross approximation with cost $$\mathcal O(n^3)$$ O ( n 3 ) .

AbstractWe prove that an n-by-n complex positive semidefinite matrix of rank r whose graph is connected, whose diagonal entries are integers, and whose non-zero off-diagonal entries have modulus at least one, has trace at least n + r − 1.
