Best rank k approximation for binary forms

Algebraic Geometry 2017-07-18 v1

Abstract

In the tensor space SymdR2\mathrm{Sym}^d {\mathbb R}^2 of binary forms we study the best rank kk approximation problem. The critical points of the best rank 11 approximation problem are the eigenvectors and it is known that they span a hyperplane. We prove that the critical points of the best rank kk approximation problem lie in the same hyperplane.
