A classical problem is to determine when such a decomposition is unique. In this paper I answer this question when the degree of $f$ is greater than the number of variables. To do this I translate the algebraic statement into a geometric one concerning the singularities of linear systems of $P^n$ with assigned singularities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-06-15T09:11:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J70", "14N05", "14E05" ], "keywords": [ "linear systems", "waring problem", "singularities", "homogeneus forms asks", "linear forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......6288M" } } }
