Let $q=2^f$, and let $G=\mathrm{SO}_8^+(q)$ and $U$ be a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. We first describe the fusion of the conjugacy classes of $U$ in $G$. We then use this information to prove the unitriangularity of the $\ell$-decomposition…

An algorithm is developed to compute the complete CS decomposition (CSD) of a partitioned unitary matrix. Although the existence of the CSD has been recognized since 1977, prior algorithms compute only a reduced version (the 2-by-1 CSD)…
We give efficient algorithms for finding power-sum decomposition of an input polynomial $P(x)= \sum_{i\leq m} p_i(x)^d$ with component $p_i$s. The case of linear $p_i$s is equivalent to the well-studied tensor decomposition problem while…
