We study the problem of finding the dominant eigenvector of the sample covariance matrix, under additional constraints on the vector: a cardinality constraint limits the number of...
Volunteer Computing (VC) projects harness the power of computers owned by volunteers across the Internet to perform hundreds of thousands of independent jobs. In VC projects, the ...
