Suppose that $A$ is a random matrix. In particular, set $A_{ij}$ to be i.i.d $N(0,1)$. Then empirical results show that the resulting $W$ is a rank-1 matrix, which means that we recover the optimal $x$ exactly. | Suppose that $A$ is a random matrix.

Is this true in general? Note that we can prove that the solution is rank 1 if $A = v v^T + (\text{small amount of noise})$. | Is this true in general? Note that we can prove that the solution is rank 1 if $A = v v^T + (\text{small amount of noise})$. |
