A real matrix A is said to be completely positive (CP) if it can be decomposed as A = BB^T, where the real matrix B has exclusively non-negative entries. Let k be the rank of A and Φ_k the least possible number of columns of the matrix B, the so-called completely positive rank (cp-rank) of A. The present work is devoted to a study of a general upper bound for the cp-rank of an arbitrary completely positive matrix A and its dependence on the ordinary rank k. This general upper bound of...
