We develop deterministic perturbation bounds for singular values and vectors of orthogonally decomposable tensors, in a spirit similar to classical results for matrices such as those due to Weyl, Davis, Kahan and Wedin. Our bounds…
Perturbing a deterministic $n$-dimensional matrix with small Gaussian noise is a cornerstone of smoothed analysis of algorithms [Spielman and Teng, JACM 2004], as it reduces the condition number of the input to $O(n)$, and with it the…
