Abstract

Given a non-negative real matrix M of non-negative rank at least r, can we witness this fact by a small submatrix of M? While Moitra (SIAM J. Comput. 2013) proved that this cannot be achieved exactly, we show that such a witnessing is possible approximately: an m×n matrix of non-negative rank r always contains a submatrix with at most r³ rows and columns with non-negative rank at least Ω(r/(log n log m)). A similar result is proved for the 1-partition number of a Boolean matrix and, consequently, also for its two-player deterministic communication complexity. Tightness of the latter estimate is closely related to the log-rank conjecture of Lovász and Saks.
