Dehomogenization for Completely Positive Tensors

Abstract

A real symmetric tensor is completely positive (CP) if it is a sum of symmetric tensor powers of nonnegative vectors. We propose a dehomogenization approach for studying CP tensors. This gives new Moment-SOS relaxations for CP tensors. Detection for CP tensors and the linear conic optimization with CP tensor cones can be solved more efficiently by the dehomogenization approach.
