Promote the Orthogonality between Rows of Matrix $ S $












0












$begingroup$


Suppose we want to solve the following optimization problem in $S in mathbb{R}^{N times T}$, where $T gg S$,



$$min_{S} f(S) mbox{ subject to } SS^T mbox{is diagonal}$$



which means rows of the matrix $S$ are mutually orthogonal.



I am suggested to solve this alternative problem by the following method:



$$min_{S} f(S) + |mathcal{P}(SS^T)|_1$$



in which $mathcal{P}$ is a projection onto the off-diagonal indexes.



But I don't this $ell_1$ penalty will promote the orthogonality between each rows by simply promote the sparsity of the off-diagonal elements, since we are not doing any actions like block coordinate descent to promote the orthogonality.



Any suggestions?

    What do you know about $f$? Why not introduce $n (n-1)$ quadratic equality constraints?

    I think you should just rephrase the question into something like "Orthogonal Projection onto Semi Orthogonal Matrix Space". This way you'll get answers.
