Highlights:

• Deterministic efficient algorithms for two special cases of Edmonds' problem are exhibited.

• A classical tool in matrix analysis called the Wong sequences is generalized.

• As a first result, an algorithm to compute the maximum rank in a rank-1 spanned matrix space is exhibited.

• The first result settles an open problem by Gurvits [18].

• As a second result, an algorithm to compute the maximum rank in a triangularizable matrix space is exhibited.
