Higher-order tensors arise frequently in applications such as neuroimaging, recommendation system, social network analysis, and psychological studies. We consider the problem of low-rank tensor estimation from possibly incomplete,…

We present an efficient low-rank approximation algorithm for non-negative tensors. The algorithm is derived from our two findings: First, we show that rank-1 approximation for tensors can be viewed as a mean-field approximation by treating…

The structure tensor of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$, denoted $T_{\mathfrak{sl}_n}$, is the tensor arising from the Lie bracket bilinear operation on the set of traceless $n \times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{C}$. This tensor is intimately related to…

Under the action of the general linear group with tensor structure, the ranks of matrices $A$ and $B$ forming an $m \times n$ pencil $A + \lambda B$ can change, but in a restricted manner. Specifically, with every pencil one can associate a…

An important building block in all current asymptotically fast algorithms for matrix multiplication are tensors with low border rank, that is, tensors whose border rank is equal or very close to their size. To find new asymptotically fast…

We develop a framework to analyse invariant decompositions of elements of tensor product spaces. Namely, we define an invariant decomposition with indices arranged on a simplicial complex, and which is explicitly invariant under a group…

In this paper we generalize the 1-bit matrix completion problem to higher order tensors. We prove that when $r=O(1)$ a bounded rank-$r$, order-$d$ tensor $T$ in $\mathbb{R}^{N} \times \mathbb{R}^{N} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{R}^{N}$ can…

We give a sufficient criterion for a lower bound of the cactus rank of a tensor. Then we refine that criterion in order to be able to give an explicit sufficient condition for a non-redundant decomposition of a tensor to be minimal and…

Finding the rank of a tensor is a problem that has many applications. Unfortunately it is often very difficult to determine the rank of a given tensor. Inspired by the heuristics of convex relaxation, we consider the nuclear norm instead of…

A matrix always has a full rank submatrix such that the rank of this matrix is equal to the rank of that submatrix. This property is one of the corner stones of the matrix rank theory. We call this property the max-full-rank-submatrix…

A novel tensor decomposition framework, termed Tensor Star (TS) decomposition, is proposed which represents a new type of tensor network decomposition based on tensor contractions. This is achieved by connecting the core tensors in a ring…

Motivated by problems in algebraic complexity theory (e.g., matrix multiplication) and extremal combinatorics (e.g., the cap set problem and the sunflower problem), we introduce the geometric rank as a new tool in the study of tensors and…

We show that for a nonnegative tensor, a best nonnegative rank-r approximation is almost always unique, its best rank-one approximation may always be chosen to be a best nonnegative rank-one approximation, and that the set of nonnegative…

$O(N)$ invariants are the observables of real tensor models. We use regular colored graphs to represent these invariants, the valence of the vertices of the graphs relates to the tensor rank. We enumerate $O(N)$ invariants as $d$-regular…

For tensors in $\mathbb{C}^d \otimes \mathbb{C}^d \otimes \mathbb{C}^d$, Landsberg provides non-trivial equations for tensors of border rank $2d-3$ for $d$ even and $2d-5$ for $d$ odd were found by Landsberg. In previous work, we observe…

The purpose of this note is to give a linear algebra algorithm to find out if a rank of a given tensor over a field $\F$ is at most $k$ over the algebraic closure of $\F$, where $k$ is a given positive integer. We estimate the arithmetic…

In this paper, we study typical ranks of 3-tensors and show that there are plural typical ranks for m\times n\times p tensors over R in the following cases: (1) 3\leq m\leq \rho(n) and (m-1)(n-1)+1\leq p\leq (m-1)n, where \rho\ is the…

Recent efforts to unravel the mystery of implicit regularization in deep learning have led to a theoretical focus on matrix factorization -- matrix completion via linear neural network. As a step further towards practical deep learning, we…

We study the decomposability and the subdifferential of the tensor nuclear norm. Both concepts are well understood and widely applied in matrices but remain unclear for higher-order tensors. We show that the tensor nuclear norm admits a…

The goal of tensor completion is to fill in missing entries of a partially known tensor under a low-rank constraint. In this paper, we mainly study low rank third-order tensor completion problems by using Riemannian optimization methods on…
