In this paper we discuss the notion of singular vector tuples of a complex valued $d$-mode tensor of dimension m_1 x ... x m_d. We show that a generic tensor has a finite number of singular vector tuples, viewed as points in the corresponding Segre product. We give the formula for the number of singular vector tuples. We show similar results for tensors with partial symmetry. We give analogous results for the homogeneous pencil eigenvalue problem for cubic tensors, i.e. m_1=...=m_d. We show uniqueness of best approximations for almost all real tensors in the following cases: rank one approximation; rank one approximation for partially symmetric tensors (this approximation is also partially symmetric); rank-(r_1,...,r_d) approximation for $d$-mode tensors.

  1. Detection Is Harder Than Estimation in Certain Regimes: Inference for Moment and Cumulant Tensors

    The minimax rate for estimating d-th order moment tensors is sqrt(p/n) wedge 1, while low-degree evidence shows detection of vanishing cumulants is hard for n much less than p to the d/2, creating a reverse detection-...
