%0 Journal Article %T On the real X-ranks of points of Pn(R) with respect to a real variety X Pn %A Edoardo Ballico %J Annales UMCS, Mathematica %D 2010 %I %R 10.2478/v10062-010-0010-1 %X Let X Pn be an integral and non-degenerate m-dimensional variety defined over R. For any P กส Pn(R) the real X-rank r x,R(P) is the minimal cardinality of S X(R) such that P กส . Here we extend to the real case an upper bound for the X-rank due to Landsberg and Teitler. %K Ranks %K real variety %K structured rank %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/f516n2261h231888/?p=9103deacfc2242cb8d5ede9bf0cc3318&pi=1
