The goal of this work is to fill a gap in [Yang, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl, 41 (2020), 1797--1825]. In that work, an approximation procedure was proposed for orthogonal low-rank tensor approximation; however, the approximation lower bound…

We study the problem of computing the $p\rightarrow q$ norm of a matrix $A \in R^{m \times n}$, defined as \[ \|A\|_{p\rightarrow q} ~:=~ \max_{x \,\in\, R^n \setminus \{0\}} \frac{\|Ax\|_q}{\|x\|_p} \] This problem generalizes the spectral…
