4x4x3 absolutely nonsingular tensors are characterized by their determinant polynomial. Non-quivalence among absolutely nonsingular tensors with respect to a class of linear transformations, which do not chage the tensor rank,is studied. It…
We prove that the general tensor of size 2^n and rank k has a unique decomposition as the sum of decomposable tensors if k<= 0.9997 (2^n)/(n+1) (the constant 1 being the optimal value). Similarly, the general tensor of size 3^n and rank k…
Third rank Killing tensors in (1+1)-dimensional geometries are investigated and classified. It is found that a necessary and sufficient condition for such a geometry to admit a third rank Killing tensor can always be formulated as a…

While every matrix admits a singular value decomposition, in which the terms are pairwise orthogonal in a strong sense, higher-order tensors typically do not admit such an orthogonal decomposition. Those that do have attracted attention…
We introduce an inductive method for the study of the uniqueness of decompositions of tensors, by means of tensors of rank 1. The method is based on the geometric notion of weak defectivity. For three-dimensional tensors of type (a, b, c),…

A tensor in applied mathematics is usually defined as a multidimensional array of numbers. This presumes a choice of basis in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or in some other vector space, and tensorial concepts are defined accordingly. In this article we…
In this article the notion of the nondecreasing (ND) rank of a matrix or tensor is introduced. A tensor has an ND rank of r if it can be represented as a sum of r outer products of vectors, with each vector satisfying a monotonicity…
A real symmetric tensor is completely positive (CP) if it is a sum of symmetric tensor powers of nonnegative vectors. We propose a dehomogenization approach for studying CP tensors. This gives new Moment-SOS relaxations for CP tensors.…

Free tensors are tensors which, after a change of bases, have free support: any two distinct elements of its support differ in at least two coordinates. They play a distinguished role in the theory of bilinear complexity, in particular in…

We investigate the uniqueness of decomposition of general tensors $T\in {\mathbb C}^{n_1+1}\otimes\cdots\otimes{\mathbb C}^{n_r+1}$ as a sum of tensors of rank $1$. This is done extending the theory developed in a previous paper by the…
To an arc $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathrm{PG}(k-1,q)$ of size $q+k-1-t$ we associate a tensor in $\langle \nu_{k,t}(\mathcal{A})\rangle^{\otimes k-1}$, where $\nu_{k,t}$ denotes the Veronese map of degree $t$ defined on $\mathrm{PG}(k-1,q)$. As a…
