Weight-feature equality conjecture at full-rank stationary points

About 3 years old · traced to

Let W\boldsymbol{W} and H\boldsymbol{H} be the classifier and feature matrices in the unconstrained feature model. Assume that both matrices have full row rank and satisfy the first-order optimality condition referred to in the source.

Weight-feature equality conjecture. Then

W=H.\boldsymbol{W}=\boldsymbol{H}.

This conjecture links first-order optimality with equality of the classifier and feature matrices. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
