Practical alternating least squares for tensor ring decomposition

Tensor ring (TR) decomposition has been widely applied as an effective approach in a variety of applications to discover the hidden low-rank patterns in multidimensional and higher-order data. A well-known method for TR decomposition is the alternating least squares (ALS). However, solving the ALS subproblems often suffers from high cost issue, especially for large-scale tensors. In this paper, we provide two strategies to tackle this issue and design three ALS-based algorithms. Specifically, the first strategy is used to simplify the calculation of the coefficient matrices of the normal equations for the ALS subproblems, which takes full advantage of the structure of the coefficient matrices of the subproblems and hence makes the corresponding algorithm perform much better than the regular ALS method in terms of computing time. The second strategy is to stabilize the ALS subproblems by QR factorizations on TR-cores, and hence the corresponding algorithms are more numerically stable compared with our first algorithm. Extensive numerical experiments on synthetic and real data are given to illustrate and confirm the above results. In addition, we also present the complexity analyses of the proposed algorithms.     

Fixed point theorems of random set-valued mappings and their applications

In this paper, first we show several new random fixed point theorems for random set-valued mappings and for a system of random set-valued mappings. Then, some applications of our results are given for the existence and uniqueness of random solution for a system of nonlinear random integral and differential equations. Our theorems improved and generalize many recent findings in [4–7, 9, 11–17].

形式三角矩阵环的可分性和稳定度

In this paper we study the formal triangular matrix ring T =and give some necessary and sufficient conditions for T to be (strongly) separative, m-fold stable and unit 1-stable. Moreover, a condition for finitely generated projec-tive T-modules to have n in the stable range is given under the assumption that A and B are exchange rings.

Let R be a commutative ring without nil-factor. In this paper, we discuss the problem of quasi-valuation ring presented in the reference “Wang Shianghaw, On quasi-valuation ring, Northeast People‘s Univ. Natur. Sci. J., (1)(1957), 27-40”,when the quotient field of R is an algebraic number field or an algebraic function field, and we obtain a characterization of quasi-valuation rings.

We present general properties for almost-flat modules and we prove that a self-small right module is almost flat as a left module over its endomorphism ring if and only if the class of g-static modules is closed under the kernels.

Let G be a finite elementary group. Let ⁿ (G) denote the nth power of the augmentation ideal (G) of the integral group ring G. In this paper, we give an explicit basis of the quotient group Q_n(G) = ⁿ(G)/ⁿ⁺¹ (G) and compute the order of Qⁿ (G).2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16S34, 20C05     

When is a Quasi-p-injective Module Continuous?

It is well-known that every quasi-p-injective module has C2-condition. In this note, it is shown that for a quasi-p-injective module M which is a self-generator, if M is projective, duo and semiperfect, then M is continuous. As a special case we re-obtain a result of Puninski-Wisbauer-Yousif saying that, a semiperfect ring R is right continuous if it is right duo, right p-injective.AMS Subject Classifications (1991): 16D50, 16D70, 16D80Supported by The Royal Golden Jubilee Project
