Polynomial Time Algorithms for the Kadison-Singer Problem

Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava [MSS15] established the existence of Kadison--Singer partitions. We provide polynomial-time algorithms for the Kadison--Singer problem. For Hermitian matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_m\in\mathbb C^{n\times n}$ of rank at most one, we give two algorithms that find signs $\sigma\in\{\pm1\}^m$ satis...
