- I'm wondering if anyone has seen a tensor of rank greater than two
- factored into its principle components - i.e., given a tensor A of rank n,
- is there a decomposition similiar to
- -1
- S A S = L
-
- where L is a "diagonal" tensor of rank n, and S is a tensor of rank n that
- is built out of the eigentensors (!) of A? Thanks for any advice or
- references on this topic -
