MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Towards a condition number theorem for the tensor rank decomposition

Paul Breiding and Nick Vannieuwenhoven

Abstract

We show that a natural weighted distance from a tensor rank decomposition to the locus of ill-posed decompositions (i.e., decompositions with unbounded geometric condition number, derived in [P. Breiding and N. Vannieuwenhoven, The condition number of join decompositions, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. (2018)]) is bounded from below by the inverse of this condition number. That is, we prove one inequality towards a condition number theorem for the tensor rank decomposition. Numerical experiments suggest that the other inequality could also hold (at least locally).
