The low-rank matrix recovery (LMR) arises in many fields such as signal and image processing, quantum state tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, system identification and control, and it is generally NP-hard. Recently, Majumdar and Ward [Majumdar, A and RK Ward (2011). An algorithm for sparse...

In this paper, we introduce a generalized proximal Lagrangian function for the constrained nonlinear programming problem and discuss existence of its saddle points. In particular, the local saddle point is obtained by using the second-order sufficient conditions, and the global saddle point is...

The implicit Lagrangian was first proposed by Mangasarian and Solodov as a smooth merit function for the nonnegative orthant complementarity problem. It has attracted much attention in the past ten years because of its utility in reformulating complementarity problems as unconstrained...
