Typical rank of mtimes ntimes (m-1)n tensors with 3leq mleq n over the real number field

Tensor type data are used recently in various application fields, and then a typical rank is important. Let $3\leq m\leq n$. We study typical ranks of $m\times n\times (m-1)n$ tensors over the real number field. Let $\rho$ be the Hurwitz-Radon function defined as $\rho(n)=2^b+8c$ for nonnegative integers $a,b,c$ such that $n=(2a+1)2^{b+4c}$ and $0\leq b<4$. If $m \leq \rho(n)$, then the set of $m\times n\times (m-1)n$ tensors has two typical ranks $(m-1)n,(m-1)n+1$. In this paper, we show that the converse is also true: if $m > \rho(n)$, then the set of $m\times n\times (m-1)n$ tensors has only one typical rank $(m-1)n$.
