Rank Minimization Problem (RMP) has application in a variety of areas such as control, system identification, statistics and signal processing. Excep in some special cases RMP is known to be computationaly hard. If the matrix is symmetric and positive semidifinite, trace minimization is a very effective heuristic for rank minimization problem. The trace minimization results in a semidefinite problem which can be easily solved.
