Abstract

In this paper we consider a nonconvex model of recovering low-rank matrices from the noisy measurement. The problem is formulated as a nonconvex regularized least square optimization problem, in which the rank function is replaced by a matrix minimax concave penalty function. An alternating direction method with a continuation (ADMc) technique (on the regularization parameter) is proposed to solve this nonconvex low rank matrix recovery problem. Moreover, under some mild assumptions, the convergence behavior of the alternating direction method for the proposed nonconvex problems is proved. Finally, comprehensive numerical experiments show that the proposed nonconvex model and the ADM algorithm are competitive with the state-of-the-art models and algorithms in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
