Generalized Schur functions and generalized decomposable symmetric tensors. (English) Zbl 0894.15015
The author investigates the properties of generalized Schur functions and conditions for two generalized decomposable symmetric tensors to be equal. The analogue of replacing generalized Schur functions by generalized trace functions is also considered.
