On characteristic rank for matrix and tensor completion

Abstract

In this lecture note, we discuss a fundamental concept, referred to as the {\it characteristic rank}, which suggests a general framework for characterizing the basic properties of various low-dimensional models used in signal processing. Below, we illustrate this framework using two examples: matrix and three-way tensor completion problems, and consider basic properties include identifiability of a matrix or tensor, given partial observations. In this note, we consider cases without observation noise to illustrate the principle.
