Minimax perturbation bounds of the low-rank matrix under Ky Fan norm

Abstract

<abstract><p>This paper considers the minimax perturbation bounds of the low-rank matrix under Ky Fan norm. We first explore the upper bounds via the best rank-$ r $ approximation $ \hat{A}_r $ of the observation matrix $ \hat{A} $. Next, the lower bounds are established by constructing special matrix groups to show the upper bounds are tight on the low-rank matrix estimation error. In addition, we derive the rate-optimal perturbation bounds for the left and right singular subspaces under Ky Fan norm $ \sin\Theta $ distance. Finally, some simulations have been carried out to support our theories.</p></abstract>
