Numerical algorithms for low-rank matrix completion problems

We consider a problem of recovering low-rank data matrix from sampling of its entries. Suppose that we observe m entries selected uniformly at random from an n1×n2 matrix M . One can hope that when enough entries are revealed (O(nrlogn)), it is possible to recover the matrix exactly. We downloaded eight solvers implemented in Matlab for low-rank matrix completion and tested them on different problems. The report includes brief description of the solvers used (based on the original papers) and results of the experiment carried out.
