We study decoupling in quasi-Banach spaces. We show that decoupling is permissible in some quasi-Banach spaces (e.g., Lp and Lp/Hp when 0 < p < 1) but fails in other spaces such as the Schatten ideal Sp when 0 < p < 1. We also relate our ideas to a possible extension of the Grothendieck inequality.

Given an n×d matrix A, its Schatten-p norm, p ≥ 1, is defined as ‖A‖p = (∑rank(A) i=1 σi(A) p )1/p , where σi(A) is the i-th largest singular value of A. These norms have been studied in functional analysis in the context of non-commutative `p-spaces, and recently in data stream and linear sketching models of computation. Basic questions on the relations between these norms, such as their embed...

Regularity estimates for an integral operator with a symmetric continuous kernel on convex bounded domain are derived. The covariance of mean-square random field the is example such operator. form Hilbert--Schmidt norms and its square root, composed fractional powers elliptic equipped homogeneous boundary conditions either Dirichlet or Neumann type. These types estimates, which couple regularit...

We prove new results about the robustness of well-known convex noise-blind optimization formulations for reconstruction low-rank matrices from an underdetermined system random linear measurements. Specifically, our address Hermitian rank-one measurements as used in a version phase retrieval problem; that is, each measurement can be represented inner product unknown matrix and outer given realiz...
