Perron-Frobenius matrix completion ================================== The DGP atom library has several functions of positive matrices, including the trace, (matrix) product, sum, Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue, and :math:`(I - X)^{-1}` (eye-minus-inverse). In this notebook, we use some of these atoms to formulate and solve an interesting matrix completion problem. In this problem, we are given some entries of an elementwise positive matrix :math:`A`, and the goal is to choose the missing entries so as to minimize the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue or spectral radius. Letting :math:`\Omega` denote the set of indices :math:`(i, j)` for which :math:`A_{ij}` is known, the optimization problem is .. math:: \begin{equation} \begin{array}{ll} \mbox{minimize} & \lambda_{\text{pf}}(X) \\ \mbox{subject to} & \prod_{(i, j) \not\in \Omega} X_{ij} = 1 \\ & X_{ij} = A_{ij}, \, (i, j) \in \Omega, \end{array} \end{equation} which is a log-log convex program. Below is an implementation of this problem, with specific problem data .. math:: A = \begin{bmatrix} 1.0 & ? & 1.9 \\ ? & 0.8 & ? \\ 3.2 & 5.9& ? \end{bmatrix}, where the question marks denote the missing entries. .. code:: python import cvxpy as cp n = 3 known_value_indices = tuple(zip(*[[0, 0], [0, 2], [1, 1], [2, 0], [2, 1]])) known_values = [1.0, 1.9, 0.8, 3.2, 5.9] X = cp.Variable((n, n), pos=True) objective_fn = cp.pf_eigenvalue(X) constraints = [ X[known_value_indices] == known_values, X[0, 1] * X[1, 0] * X[1, 2] * X[2, 2] == 1.0, ] problem = cp.Problem(cp.Minimize(objective_fn), constraints) problem.solve(gp=True) print("Optimal value: ", problem.value) print("X:\n", X.value) .. parsed-literal:: Optimal value: 4.702374203221372 X: [[1. 4.63616907 1.9 ] [0.49991744 0.8 0.37774148] [3.2 5.9 1.14221476]]
