Abstract

We revisit the matrix problems sparse null space and matrix sparsification, and show that they are equivalent. We then proceed to seek algorithms for these problems: We prove the hardness of approximation of these problems, and also give a powerful tool to extend algorithms and heuristics for sparse approximation theory to these problems.
