DESCRIPTION:Prof. André Uschmajew - University of Augsburg\nComputational
  Mathematics Seminar\n \nAbstract : The decomposition or approximation of
  a linear operator on a matrix space as a sum of Kronecker products plays 
 an important role in matrix equations and low-rank modeling. The approxima
 tion problem in Frobenius norm admits a well-known solution via the singul
 ar value decomposition.\nHowever\, the approximation problem in spectral n
 orm\, which is more natural for linear operators\, is much more challengin
 g. In particular\, the Frobenius norm solution can be far from optimal in 
 spectral norm. We describe an alternating optimization method based on sem
 idefinite programming to obtain high-quality approximations in spectral no
 rm\, and we present computational experiments to illustrate the advantages
  of our approach. Based on joint work with Mareike Dressler and Venkat Cha
 ndrasekaran.
