This paper studies the problem of finding best rank-1 approximations for both symmetric and nonsymmetric tensors. For symmetric tensors, this is equivalent to optimizing homogeneous polynomials over unit spheres; for nonsymmetric tensors,…

Unlike the matrix case, computing low-rank approximations of tensors is NP-hard and numerically ill-posed in general. Even the best rank-1 approximation of a tensor is NP-hard. In this paper, we use convex optimization to develop…

This work studies the combinatorial optimization problem of finding an optimal core tensor shape, also called multilinear rank, for a size-constrained Tucker decomposition. We give an algorithm with provable approximation guarantees for its…

This work studies the problem of maximizing a higher degree real homogeneous multivariate polynomial over the unit sphere. This problem is equivalent to finding the leading eigenvalue of the associated symmetric tensor of higher order,…

Tensor networks provide compact and scalable representations of high-dimensional data, enabling efficient computation in fields such as quantum physics, numerical partial differential equations (PDEs), and machine learning. This paper…

A tensor nuclear norm (TNN) based method for solving the tensor recovery problem was recently proposed, and it has achieved state-of-the-art performance. However, it may fail to produce a highly accurate solution since it tends to treats…

Correspondence problems are often modelled as quadratic optimization problems over permutations. Common scalable methods for approximating solutions of these NP-hard problems are the spectral relaxation for non-convex energies and the…

We study the convex relaxation of a polynomial optimization problem, maximizing a product of linear forms over the complex sphere. We show that this convex program is also a relaxation of the permanent of Hermitian positive semidefinite…

We study the problem of maximizing the geometric mean of $d$ low-degree non-negative forms on the real or complex sphere in $n$ variables. We show that this highly non-convex problem is NP-hard even when the forms are quadratic and is…

In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…

We study the problem of nonnegative rank-one approximation of a nonnegative tensor, and show that the globally optimal solution that minimizes the generalized Kullback-Leibler divergence can be efficiently obtained, i.e., it is not NP-hard.…

We analyze low rank tensor completion (TC) using noisy measurements of a subset of the tensor. Assuming a rank-$r$, order-$d$, $N \times N \times \cdots \times N$ tensor where $r=O(1)$, the best sampling complexity that was achieved is…

Doubly nonnegative (DNN) relaxation usually provides a tight lower bound for a mixed-binary quadratic program (MBQP). However, solving DNN problems is challenging because: (1) the problem size is $\Omega((n+l)^2)$ for an MBQP with $n$…

Many problems can be formulated as recovering a low-rank tensor. Although an increasingly common task, tensor recovery remains a challenging problem because of the delicacy associated with the decomposition of higher order tensors. To…

We consider the problem of finding the smallest or largest entry of a tensor of order N that is specified via its rank decomposition. Stated in a different way, we are given N sets of R-dimensional vectors and we wish to select one vector…

We consider polynomial optimization problems (POP) on a semialgebraic set contained in the nonnegative orthant (every POP on a compact set can be put in this format by a simple translation of the origin). Such a POP can be converted to an…

We study semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations for the NP-hard problem of globally optimizing a quadratic function over the Stiefel manifold. We introduce a strengthened relaxation based on two recent ideas in the literature: (i) a…

This paper studies the problem of deterministic rank-one matrix completion. It is known that the simplest semidefinite programming relaxation, involving minimization of the nuclear norm, does not in general return the solution for this…

Doubly nonnegative (DNN) programming problems are known to be challenging to solve because of their huge number of $\Omega(n^2)$ constraints and $\Omega(n^2)$ variables. In this work, we introduce RNNAL, a method for solving DNN relaxations…

We consider the NP-hard problem of finding the closest rank-one binary tensor to a given binary tensor, which we refer to as the rank-one Boolean tensor factorization (BTF) problem. This optimization problem can be used to recover a planted…
