Two Newton methods on the manifold of fixed-rank matrices endowed with Riemannian quotient geometries
2012
We consider two Riemannian geometries for the manifold $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ of all $m\times n$ matrices of rank $p$. The geometries are induced on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ by viewing it as the base manifold of the submersion $\pi:(M,N)\mapsto MN^T$, selecting an adequate Riemannian metric on the total space, and turning $\pi$ into a Riemannian submersion. The theory of Riemannian submersions, an important tool in Riemannian geometry, makes it possible to obtain expressions for fundamental geometric objects on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ and to formulate the Riemannian Newton methods on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ induced by these two geometries. The Riemannian Newton methods admit a stronger and more streamlined convergence analysis than the Euclidean counterpart, and the computational overhead due to the Riemannian geometric machinery is shown to be mild. Potential applications include low-rank matrix completion and other low-rank matrix approximation problems.
