In numerical analysis, interpolative decomposition (ID) factors a matrix as the product of two matrices, one of which contains selected columns from the original matrix, and the other of which has a subset of columns consisting of the identity matrix and all its values are no greater than 2 in absolute value.
Definition[]
Let be an matrix of rank . The matrix can be written as
where
- is a subset of indices from
- The matrix represents 's columns of
- is an matrix, all of whose values are less than 2 in magnitude. has an identity submatrix.
Note that a similar decomposition can be done using the rows of instead of its columns.
Example[]
Let be the matrix of rank 2:
If
then
