Low-rank tensor approximation error bounds are proposed for the case of noisy input data that depend on low-rank representation type, rank and the dimensionality of the tensor. The bounds show that high-dimensional low-rank structured…

Rank-metric codes are subspaces of matrices over finite fields endowed with the rank metric and admit a natural tensorial representation. The tensor rank provides a measure of the minimal size of a decomposition of a code into rank-one…

Border complexity measures are defined via limits (or topological closures), so that any function which can approximated arbitrarily closely by low complexity functions itself has low border complexity. Debordering is the task of proving an…

We revisit a geometric lower bound for Waring rank of polynomials (symmetric rank of symmetric tensors) of Landsberg and Teitler and generalize it to a lower bound for rank with respect to arbitrary varieties, improving the bound given by…

This paper studies the stability of tensor ranks under field extensions. Our main contributions are fourfold: (1) We prove that the analytic rank is stable under field extensions. (2) We establish the equivalence between the partition rank…

The tensor network variety is a variety of tensors associated to a graph and a set of positive integer weights on its edges, called bond dimensions. We determine an upper bound on the dimension of the tensor network variety. A refined upper…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…

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…

This study aims to solve the over-reliance on the rank estimation strategy in the standard tensor factorization-based tensor recovery and the problem of a large computational cost in the standard t-SVD-based tensor recovery. To this end, we…

We study an upper bound of ranks of $n$-tensors with size $2\times\cdots\times2$ over the complex and real number field. We characterize a $2\times 2\times 2$ tensor with rank 3 by using the Cayley's hyperdeterminant and some function. Then…
