Approximation Schemes for Low-Rank Binary Matrix Approximation Problems


Abstract in English

We provide a randomized linear time approximation scheme for a generic problem about clustering of binary vectors subject to additional constrains. The new constrained clustering problem encompasses a number of problems and by solving it, we obtain the first linear time-approximation schemes for a number of well-studied fundamental problems concerning clustering of binary vectors and low-rank approximation of binary matrices. Among the problems solvable by our approach are textsc{Low GF(2)-Rank Approximation}, textsc{Low Boolean-Rank Approximation}, and vario
