Nonnegative rank depends on the field II

Abstract

We provide an example of a 21× 21 matrix with nonnegative integer entries which can be written as a sum of 19 nonnegative rank-one matrices but not as a sum of 19 rational nonnegative rank-one matrices. This gives a solution for a problem posed by Cohen and Rothblum in 1993.
