Most tensor problems are NP-hard

CJ Hillar, LH Lim - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2013 - dl.acm.org
We prove that multilinear (tensor) analogues of many efficiently computable problems in
numerical linear algebra are NP-hard. Our list includes: determining the feasibility of a …

On maximum, typical and generic ranks

G Blekherman, Z Teitler - Mathematische Annalen, 2015 - Springer
We show that for several notions of rank including tensor rank, Waring rank, and generalized
rank with respect to a projective variety, the maximum value of rank is at most twice the …

The hitchhiker guide to: Secant varieties and tensor decomposition

A Bernardi, E Carlini, MV Catalisano, A Gimigliano… - Mathematics, 2018 - mdpi.com
We consider here the problem, which is quite classical in Algebraic geometry, of studying
the secant varieties of a projective variety X. The case we concentrate on is when X is a …

Waring decompositions of monomials

W Buczyńska, J Buczyński, Z Teitler - Journal of Algebra, 2013 - Elsevier
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 …

Typical real ranks of binary forms

G Blekherman - Foundations of Computational Mathematics, 2015 - Springer
We prove a conjecture of Comon and Ottaviani that typical real Waring ranks of bivariate
forms of degree d take all integer values between ⌊d+22⌋ and d. That is, we show that for …

Comon's conjecture, rank decomposition, and symmetric rank decomposition of symmetric tensors

X Zhang, ZH Huang, L Qi - SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 2016 - SIAM
Comon's Conjecture claims that for a symmetric tensor, its rank and its symmetric rank
coincide. We show that this conjecture is true under an additional assumption that the rank …

A hierarchy of eigencomputations for polynomial optimization on the sphere

B Lovitz, N Johnston - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.17827, 2023 - arxiv.org
We introduce a convergent hierarchy of lower bounds on the minimum value of a real form
over the unit sphere. The main practical advantage of our hierarchy over the real sum-of …

[HTML][HTML] On generic and maximal k-ranks of binary forms

S Lundqvist, A Oneto, B Reznick, B Shapiro - Journal of Pure and Applied …, 2019 - Elsevier
In what follows, we pose two general conjectures about decompositions of homogeneous
polynomials as sums of powers. The first one (suggested by G. Ottaviani) deals with the …
