%% *Problem formulation*
%
% Principal component analysis (PCA) seeks the best (in an $\ell^{1}$ norm-sense) such low-rank representation of the given data matrix with a number of optimality properties when the data are only mildly corrupted by small noise. 
% However, a major drawback of classical PCA is its brittleness when encountered with grossly corrupted or outlying observations [2].
% A number of natural approaches to robustifying PCA have been explored, including influence function techniques [3, 4], multivariate trimming [5], alternating minimization [6], and random sampling techniques [7]. 
% Unfortunately, none of these existing approaches yields a polynomial-time algorithm with strong performance guarantees, which is the main mission we wish to show on how to recover a low-rank matrix from large but sparse errors based on the article in a polynomial-time [1].
% So the key problem can be reformatted into an idealization of this robust PCA problem, in which the goal is to recover a low-rank matrix $A$ from highly corrupted measurements $$ D = A + E $$.
% In this paper, we also have the assumption that the errors $E$ can be arbitrary in magnitude, but are sparsely supported, affecting only a fraction of the entries of $D$ [1].

% # *Algorithms*
% 
% (Robust PCA) Given $$ D = A + E $$, where $A$ and $E$ are unknown, but $A$ is known to be low rank and $E$ is known to be sparse, recover $A$. 
% After we replace the $\ell^{0}$-norm with the $\ell^{1}$-norm, we can obtain a tractable optimization problem and the rank with the nuclear norm yielding the following convex surrogate:
%
% $$ \min _{A, E}\|A\|_{*}+\lambda\|E\|_{1} \ , subject\ to: A+E=D \ \ \ \ \ \ \   (1)$$ 
% 
% Then we proposed a new algorithm based on (1), in which the equality constraint is replaced with a penalty term:
% 
% $$ \min \mu\|A\|_{*}+\lambda \mu\|E\|_{1}+\frac{1}{2}\|D-A-E\|_{F}^{2} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \   (2)$$            
%
% Here, $\mu$ is a small constant; as $\mu$ getting close to 0, the solutions to (2) approach the solution set of (1).
% Then forming separable quadratic approximations is performed: This approach is discussed in detail in [8] minimizes functions of this type by forming separable quadratic approximations to the data fidelity term $$ \|D-A-E\|_{F}^{2} $$ at a special set of points $$ \left(\tilde{A}_{k}, \tilde{E}_{k}\right) $$ that are conspicuously chosen to obtain a convergence rate of $$ O\left(k^{-2}\right) $$ 
% The solutions to these subproblems can be efficiently computed via the
% soft thresholding operator (for $E$) and the singular value thresholding operator (for $A$, see [9]).
% 
% $$ A_{k+1}=\arg \min _{A}
% \mu\|A\|_{*}+\left\|A-\left(\tilde{A}_{k}-\frac{1}{4}
% \nabla_{A}\left.\|D-A-E\|_{F}^{2}\right|_{\tilde{A}_{k},
% \tilde{E}_{k}}\right)\right\|_{F}^{2} $$
% 
%
% $$ E_{k+1}=\arg \min _{E} \lambda
% \mu\|E\|_{1}+\left\|E-\left(\tilde{E}_{k}-\frac{1}{4}
% \nabla_{E}\left.\|D-A-E\|_{F}^{2}\right|_{\tilde{A}_{k},
% \tilde{E}_{k}}\right)\right\|_{F}^{2} $$
% 
% We terminate the iteration when the subgradient has sufficiently small Frobenius norm.
% 
% $$ \begin{array}{c}{\left(\tilde{A}_{k}-A_{k+1}+E_{k+1}-\tilde{E}_{k},\tilde{E}_{k}-E_{k+1}+A_{k+1}-\tilde{A}_{k}\right)} {\epsilon \quad\partial\left.\left(\mu\|A\|_{*}+\lambda \mu\|E\|_{1}+\frac{1}{2}\|D-A-E\|_{F}^{2}\right)\right|_{A_{k+1}, E_{k+1}}}\end{array}$$
% 
% The entire procedure is summarized as Algorithm below.

% *Assessment*
%
% In [1], $$ \left(A_{0}, E_{0}\right) $$ is consider to be successfully recoverd if
%
% $$ \frac{\left\|\hat{A}-A_{0}\right\|_{F}}{\left\|A_{0}\right\|_{F}}<0.01 $$
%
% However, we relaxed the threshold to make it larger, which is helpful and
% vital for convergency.
result = norm(A_hat-A) / norm(A) % evaluation of result
%%
% Here we get a result with a magnitude of $$ 10^{0} $$. In comprison, the
% final results in [1] all have a magnitude of $$ 10^{-4} $$. 
% The gap is caused by the different values of threshold in this report and
% in [1], $$ 10^{-5} $$  and  $$ 10^{-7} $$  respectively. But as shown in
% fig.1, this implemented method still have the advantage of fast
% convergency. So the result we get here do make sense after changing the
% threshold.
%% *Analysis and conclusions*
% The numerical analysis has been explored in [1] and our experiments result also give strong theoretical and empirical evidence for the efficacy of the method discussed in this report using convex programming to recover low-rank matrices from corrupted observations.
% Our result holds even when the rank of $A$ grows nearly proportionally (up to a logarithmic factor) to the dimensionality of the observation space and the number of errors $E$ grows in proportion to the total number of entries in the matrix [1].
%
%
% In this report we give a fast and provably convergent algorithm, as shown in Fig.1. 
% We prove that, with final threshold magnitude of $$ 10^{-5} $$ , most matrices $A$ can
% be efficiently and exactly recovered from most error sign-and-support patterns by solving a simple convex program. Admittedly, the final threshold in this report is larger. We noticed that the method described in this
% report may not converage if we stick to the magnitude of $$ 10^{-7} $$ as it is in [1].
% The reason behind it still needs further investigation and more
% experiments need to be done.
%
% This method has already been used in several applications and have shown
% its advantages in background modeling from video and removing shadows and
% specularities from face images [1]. By now this method has achived success in visual data, we also have the belief that this powerful new tool has the potential to a wide
% range of high-dimensional data, for example in bioinformatics and web search.
%
% * This idealized robust PCA method can be used to to recover a low-rank
% matrix $A$ from highly corrupted measurements $$ D = A + E $$, where the errors $E$ can be arbitrary in magnitude but sparsely supported.
% * A by-product of our analysis is to competing a low-rank matrix from a
% small fraction of its entries.
