Completely positive tensor decomposition (1411.5149v1)

Abstract: A symmetric tensor, which has a symmetric nonnegative decomposition, is called a completely positive tensor. We consider the completely positive tensor decomposition problem. A semidefinite algorithm is presented for checking whether a symmetric tensor is completely positive. If it is not completely positive, a certificate for it can be obtained; if it is completely positive, a nonnegative decomposition can be obtained.
