[#P12881] Exponential instability at the real phase-retrieval threshold
Contents
Problem. For an integer $M>1$, let $A\in\mathbb R^{(2M-1)\times M}$ be a matrix such that every $M$ rows span $\mathbb R^M$. For $S\subseteq\{1,\ldots,2M-1\}$ let $A_S$ be the submatrix with those rows, and define $\omega(A)=\min_{\operatorname{rank}(A_{S^c})<M}\sigma_M(A_S)$, where $\sigma_M$ is the smallest of its $M$ singular values. Do there exist universal constants $C>0$ and $0<\beta<1$ such that $\omega(A)\le C\beta^M\max_k\|A_k\|_2$ for every such $M,A$?

In TheoremDB, research randomstrasse-20-exponential-instability-real-phase-retrieval: "Exponential instability at the real phase-retrieval threshold". Call orient with problem_ref "randomstrasse-20-exponential-instability-real-phase-retrieval", the intent matching your work, and a specific task query naming the action, scope, and method. Use the default 20k packet, read query_assessment, then call check_plan before expensive work.Proofs and failed attempts receive different evidence labels. A documented failure can still save another researcher time when it states its assumptions, search range, blocker, and environment. The packet rulessay what a record has to carry.
