We provide simple criteria and algorithms for expressing homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers of independent linear forms, or equivalently, for decomposing symmetric tensors into sums of rank-1 symmetric tensors of linearly independent vectors. The criteria rely on two facets of higher degree forms, namely Harrison's algebraic theory and some algebro-geometric properties. The proposed algorithms are based purely on solving linear and quadratic equations. Moreover, as a byproduct of our criteria and algorithms one can easily decide whether or not a homogeneous polynomial or symmetric tensor is orthogonally or unitarily decomposable.
