Abstract
Let be a homogeneous polynomial of degree in variables defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and suppose that belongs to the -th secant variety of the -uple Veronese embedding of into but that its minimal decomposition as a sum of -th powers of linear forms requires more than addenda. We show that if then can be uniquely written as , where are linear forms with , and a binary form such that with 's linear forms and 's forms of degree such that .
