It is well known that if the singular values of a matrix are distinct, then its best rank-n approximation in the Frobenius norm is uniquely determined and given by the truncated singular value decomposition. On the other hand, this uniqueness is in general not true for best rank-n approximations in the spectral norm. In this talk we relate the problem of finding best rank-n approximations in the spectral norm to Kolmogorov n-widths and corresponding optimal spaces. By providing new criteria for optimality of subspaces with respect to the n-width, we describe a large family of best rank-n approximations to a given matrix. This results in a variety of solutions to the best low-rank approximation problem and provides alternatives to the truncated singular value decomposition. This variety can be exploited to obtain best low-rank approximations with problem-oriented properties.
We further discuss the generalization of these results to compact operators in L2, and explain how they can be used to both describe the out-performance of smooth spline approximations of solutions to differential equations when compared to classical finite element methods, and to solve the outlier-problem in isogeometric analysis.
This talk is based on work done in collaboration with Michael Floater, Carla Manni and Hendrik Speleers.

C*-algebra seminar talk by John Quigg (Arizona State University)

Tid og sted: , Niels Henrik Abels hus, 9th floor

I will discuss some of our recent results on active chiral and nematic membranes. The chiral stresses we consider give rise to a novel form of odd elasticity. To outline this phenomenology I will give explicit calculations outlining spontaneous flow transitions and shape instabilities. I will discuss the relevance of these results in developmental biology and their relation to active nematics, in particular how certain limits of active nematic membranes can reduce to a theory of an isotropic membrane with an active stress defined by the deviatoric part of the shape operator.
