Minimal rank completions for overlapping blocks

Abstract

We consider the multi-objective optimization problem of choosing the bottom left block-entry of a block lower triangular matrix to minimize the ranks of all block sub-matrices. We provide a proof that there exists a simultaneous rank-minimizer by constructing the complete set of all minimizers.
