Title
The Lp-PC of a Matrix, for p<1
Abstract
Lp-norm Principal-Component Analysis (Lp-PCA) has been solved exactly for p=2 (standard PCA) and, more recently, p=1 (L1-PCA). For general values of p, however, the exact solution remains unknown.
In this work, we show for the first time that, for p<1, the Lp-PC of a matrix can be found exactly through combinatorial optimization.
