Let $F$ be a homogeneous form of degree $d$ in $n$ variables. A Waring decomposition of $F$ is a way to express $F$ as a sum of $d^{th}$ powers of linear forms. In this paper we consider the decompositions of a form as a sum of expressions,…

A Waring decomposition of a polynomial is an expression of the polynomial as a sum of powers of linear forms, where the number of summands is minimal possible. We prove that any Waring decomposition of a monomial is obtained from a complete…

We prove that all polynomials in several variables can be decomposed as the sums of $k$th powers: $P(x_1,...,x_n) = Q_1(x_1,...,x_n)^k+...+ Q_s(x_1,...,x_n)^k$, provided that elements of the base field are themselves sums of $k$th powers.…
