Tensor completion by multi-rank via unitary transformation.

One of the key problems in tensor completion is the number of uniformly random sample entries required for recovery guarantee. The main aim of this paper is to study n 1 × n 2 × n 3 third-order tensor completion based on transformed tensor singular value decomposition, and provide a bound on the number of required sample entries. Our approach is to make use of the multi-rank of the underlying tensor instead of its tubal rank in the bound. In numerical experiments on synthetic and imaging data sets, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed bound for the number of sample entries. Moreover, our theoretical results are valid to any unitary transformation applied to n 3 -dimension under transformed tensor singular value decomposition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
