7.2. SECOND PREVALENT PROBLEM: 477rankXgcenv rankXFigure 116: Abstraction of convex envelope of rank function. Rank isa quasiconcave function on the positive semidefinite cone, but its convexenvelope is the smallest convex function enveloping it. Vertical bar labelled gillustrates a trace/rank gap; id est, rank found exceeds estimate (by 2).[91] [90] <strong>Convex</strong> envelope of rank function: for σ a singular value,cenv(rankA) on {A∈ R m×n | ‖A‖ 2 ≤κ} = 1 ∑σ(A) i (1194)κcenv(rankA) on {A∈ S n + | ‖A‖ 2 ≤κ} = 1 tr(A) (1195)κA properly scaled trace thus represents the best convex lower bound on rankfor positive semidefinite matrices. The idea, then, is to substitute the convexenvelope for rank of some variable A∈ S M + (A.6.5)rankA ← cenv(rankA) ∝trA = ∑ iσ(A) i = ∑ iiλ(A) i = ‖λ(A)‖ 1which is equivalent to the sum of all eigenvalues or singular values.(1196)[90] <strong>Convex</strong> envelope of the cardinality function is proportional to the1-norm:cenv(cardx) on {x∈ R n | ‖x‖ ∞ ≤κ} = 1 κ ‖x‖ 1 (1197)
