According to M. Lewenstein and A. Sanpera, any qubit state can be written as a convex sum of a separable state and a pure state. This decomposition is not unique, there is a continuum value for the parameter of this convex decomposition, and the paper focuses on the smaller value referred to as the optimal LS decomposition (LSD). The task is then to find an analytical method (clearly iterative techniques are discarded) which provides the optimal LSD for any given 2-qubit state. The eigenstate equation of this solution is derived but an analytical method for its solution remains an open problem. In a last section, the paper displays, in a detailed manner, several special examples of which the optimal LSD is known. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1077.81018].
