We make a geometric study of the Geometric Rank of tensors recently introduced by Kopparty et al. Results include classification of tensors with degenerate geometric rank in $C^3\otimes C^3\otimes C^3$, classification of tensors with…

One of the main issues in computing a tensor decomposition is how to choose the number of rank-one components, since there is no finite algorithms for determining the rank of a tensor. A commonly used approach for this purpose is to find a…

In this paper, we propose a new approaches for low rank approximation of quaternion tensors \cite{chen2019low,zhang1997quaternions,hamilton1866elements}. The first method uses quasi-norms to approximate the tensor by a low-rank tensor using…

We analyze rank decompositions of the $3\times 3$ matrix multiplication tensor over $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. We restrict our attention to decompositions of rank $\le 21$, as only those decompositions will yield an asymptotically faster…

We provide a coordinate-free proof that real $2 \times 2 \times 2$ rank three tensors do not have optimal rank two approximations with respect to the Frobenius norm. This result was first proved in by considering the ${\text{GL}(V^1) \times…

In many applications such as data compression, imaging or genomic data analysis, it is important to approximate a given tensor by a tensor that is sparsely representable. For matrices, i.e. 2-tensors, such a representation can be obtained…

Tensor type data are becoming important recently in various application fields. We determine a rank of a tensor T so that A+T is diagonalizable for a given 3-tensor A with 2 slices over the complex and real number field.

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…

It has been shown that a best rank-R approximation of an order-k tensor may not exist when R>1 and k>2. This poses a serious problem to data analysts using tensor decompositions. It has been observed numerically that, generally, this issue…

Suppose we are given an $n$-dimensional order-3 symmetric tensor $T \in (\mathbb{R}^n)^{\otimes 3}$ that is the sum of $r$ random rank-1 terms. The problem of recovering the rank-1 components is possible in principle when $r \lesssim n^2$…

We introduce a method for transforming low-order tensors into higher-order tensors and apply it to tensors defined by graphs and hypergraphs. The transformation proceeds according to a surgery-like procedure that splits vertices, creates…

We prove the existence of an open set of $n_1\times n_2 \times n_3$ tensors of rank $r$ on which a popular and efficient class of algorithms for computing tensor rank decompositions based on a reduction to a linear matrix pencil, typically…

Obtaining superlinear lower bounds on tensor rank is a major open problem in complexity theory. In this paper we propose a generalization of the approach used by Strassen in the proof of his 3n/2 border rank lower bound. Our approach…

Let $d \ge 2, h \ge 1$ be integers. Using a fragmentation technique, we characterise $(h+1)$-tuples $(R_1, \dots, R_h, R)$ of non-empty families of partitions of $\{1, \dots, d\}$ such that it suffices for an order-$d$ tensor to have…

In this paper, we show that the low rank matrix completion problem can be reduced to the problem of finding the rank of a certain tensor.

A computationally challenging classical elimination theory problem is to compute polynomials which vanish on the set of tensors of a given rank. By moving away from computing polynomials via elimination theory to computing pseudowitness…

We introduce subspace rank as a tool for studying ranks of tensors and X-rank more generally. We derive a new upper bound for the rank of a tensor and determine the ranks of partially symmetric tensors in C^2 \otimes C^b \otimes C^b. We…

We prove (without exceptions) the existence of irredundant tensor decompositions with the number of addenda equal to rank $+1$. We also discuss the existence of decompositions with more than the tensor rank terms, which are concise, while…

The orthogonal decomposition factorizes a tensor into a sum of an orthogonal list of rankone tensors. We present several properties of orthogonal rank. We find that a subtensor may have a larger orthogonal rank than the whole tensor and…

We prove a conjecture of W.~Hackbusch in a bigger generality than in our previous article. Here we consider Tensor Train (TT) model with an arbitrary number of leaves and a corresponding "almost binary tree" for Hierarchical Tucker (HT)…
