Nick Vannieuwenhoven: Condition of tensor decompositions
The condition number of a computational problem is a measure of the numerical hardness of solving the problem and also measures the sensitivity of the solutions to small changes of the problem instance. I will review the state of the art on condition numbers of the computational problem of decomposing a low-rank tensor decomposition into its constituent parts, i.e., recovering the supporting points on r copies of the base variety from a given point in the r-secant variety of the base variety. In particular, the connection to the Terracini locus and its relevance in applications will be highlighted.
