• Column sufficient Tensors and Tensor complementarity problems
Frontiers of Mathematics in China, 2018
Co-Authors: Haibin Chen, Yisheng Song
Abstract:

Stimulated by the study of sufficient matrices in linear complementarity problems, we study column sufficient Tensors and Tensor complementarity problems. Column sufficient Tensors constitute a wide range of Tensors that include positive semi-definite Tensors as special cases. The inheritance property and invariant property of column sufficient Tensors are presented. Then, various spectral properties of symmetric column sufficient Tensors are given. It is proved that all H-eigenvalues of an even-order symmetric column sufficient Tensor are nonnegative, and all its Z-eigenvalues are nonnegative even in the odd order case. After that, a new subclass of column sufficient Tensors and the handicap of Tensors are defined. We prove that a Tensor belongs to the subclass if and only if its handicap is a finite number. Moreover, several optimization models that are equivalent with the handicap of Tensors are presented. Finally, as an application of column sufficient Tensors, several results on Tensor complementarity problems are established.

• Spectral properties of odd-bipartite Z -Tensors and their absolute Tensors
Frontiers of Mathematics in China, 2016
Co-Authors: Haibin Chen
Abstract:

Stimulated by odd-bipartite and even-bipartite hypergraphs, we define odd-bipartite (weakly odd-bipartie) and even-bipartite (weakly evenbipartite) Tensors. It is verified that all even order odd-bipartite Tensors are irreducible Tensors, while all even-bipartite Tensors are reducible no matter the parity of the order. Based on properties of odd-bipartite Tensors, we study the relationship between the largest H-eigenvalue of a Z-Tensor with nonnegative diagonal elements, and the largest H-eigenvalue of absolute Tensor of that ZTensor. When the order is even and the Z-Tensor is weakly irreducible, we prove that the largest H-eigenvalue of the Z-Tensor and the largest H-eigenvalue of the absolute Tensor of that Z-Tensor are equal, if and only if the Z-Tensor is weakly odd-bipartite. Examples show the authenticity of the conclusions. Then, we prove that a symmetric Z-Tensor with nonnegative diagonal entries and the absolute Tensor of the Z-Tensor are diagonal similar, if and only if the Z-Tensor has even order and it is weakly odd-bipartite. After that, it is proved that, when an even order symmetric Z-Tensor with nonnegative diagonal entries is weakly irreducible, the equality of the spectrum of the Z-Tensor and the spectrum of absolute Tensor of that Z-Tensor, can be characterized by the equality of their spectral radii.

• Further results on Cauchy Tensors and Hankel Tensors
Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2016
Co-Authors: Haibin Chen
Abstract:

In this article, we present various new results on Cauchy Tensors and Hankel Tensors. We first introduce the concept of generalized Cauchy Tensors which extends Cauchy Tensors in the current literature, and provide several conditions characterizing positive semi-definiteness of generalized Cauchy Tensors with nonzero entries. Furthermore, we prove that all even order generalized Cauchy Tensors with positive entries are completely positive Tensors, which means every such that generalized Cauchy Tensor can be decomposed as the sum of nonnegative rank-1 Tensors. We also establish that all the H-eigenvalues of nonnegative Cauchy Tensors are nonnegative. Secondly, we present new mathematical properties of Hankel Tensors. We prove that an even order Hankel Tensor is Vandermonde positive semi-definite if and only if its associated plane Tensor is positive semi-definite. We also show that, if the Vandermonde rank of a Hankel Tensor A is less than the dimension of the underlying space, then positive semi-definiteness of A is equivalent to the fact that A is a complete Hankel Tensor, and so, is further equivalent to the SOS property of A . Thirdly, we introduce a new class of structured Tensors called Cauchy-Hankel Tensors, which is a special case of Cauchy Tensors and Hankel Tensors simultaneously. Sufficient and necessary conditions are established for an even order Cauchy-Hankel Tensor to be positive definite.

Stimulated by odd-bipartite and even-bipartite hypergraphs, we define odd-bipartite (weakly odd-bipartie) and even-bipartite (weakly even-bipartite) Tensors. It is verified that all even order odd-bipartite Tensors are irreducible Tensors, while all even-bipartite Tensors are reducible no matter the parity of the order. Based on properties of odd-bipartite Tensors, we study the relationship between the largest H-eigenvalue of a $Z$-Tensor with nonnegative diagonal elements, and the largest H-eigenvalue of absolute Tensor of that $Z$-Tensor. When the order is even and the $Z$-Tensor is weakly irreducible, we prove that the largest H-eigenvalue of the $Z$-Tensor and the largest H-eigenvalue of the absolute Tensor of that $Z$-Tensor are equal, if and only if the $Z$-Tensor is weakly odd-bipartite. Examples show the authenticity of the conclusions. Then, we prove that a symmetric $Z$-Tensor with nonnegative diagonal entries and the absolute Tensor of the $Z$-Tensor are diagonal similar, if and only if the $Z$-Tensor has even order and it is weakly odd-bipartite. After that, it is proved that, when an even order symmetric $Z$-Tensor with nonnegative diagonal entries is weakly irreducible, the equality of the spectrum of the $Z$-Tensor and the spectrum of absolute Tensor of that $Z$-Tensor, can be characterized by the equality of their spectral radii.

• generalized Tensor function via the Tensor singular value decomposition based on the t product
Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2020
Co-Authors: Yun Miao, Yimin Wei
Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we present the definition of generalized Tensor function according to the Tensor singular value decomposition (T-SVD) based on the Tensor T-product. Also, we introduce the compact singular value decomposition (T-CSVD) of Tensors, from which the projection operators and Moore-Penrose inverse of Tensors are obtained. We establish the Cauchy integral formula for Tensors by using the partial isometry Tensors and apply it into the solution of Tensor equations. Then we establish the generalized Tensor power and the Taylor expansion of Tensors. Explicit generalized Tensor functions are listed. We define the Tensor bilinear and sesquilinear forms and propose theorems on structures preserved by generalized Tensor functions. For complex Tensors, we established an isomorphism between complex Tensors and real Tensors. In the last part of our paper, we find that the block circulant operator establishes an isomorphism between Tensors and matrices. This isomorphism is used to prove the F-stochastic structure is invariant under generalized Tensor functions. The concept of invariant Tensor cones is raised.

• Stochastic structured Tensors to stochastic complementarity problems
Computational Optimization and Applications, 2019
Co-Authors: Maolin Che, Yimin Wei
Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the stochastic structured Tensors to stochastic complementarity problems. The definitions and properties of stochastic structured Tensors, such as the stochastic strong P-Tensors, stochastic P-Tensors, stochastic $$P_{0}$$-Tensors, stochastic strictly semi-positive Tensors and stochastic S-Tensors are given. It is shown that the expected residual minimization formulation (ERM) of the stochastic structured Tensor complementarity problem has a nonempty and bounded solution set. Interestingly, we partially answer the open questions proposed by Che et al. (Optim Lett 13:261–279, 2019). We also consider the expected value method of stochastic structured Tensor complementarity problem with finitely many elements probability space. Finally, based on the expected residual minimization formulation (ERM) of the stochastic structured Tensor complementarity problem, a projected gradient method is proposed for solving the stochastic structured Tensor complementarity problem and the related numerical results are also given to show the efficiency of the proposed method.

• ℋ-Tensors and nonsingular ℋ-Tensors
Frontiers of Mathematics in China, 2015
Co-Authors: Xuezhong Wang, Yimin Wei
Abstract:

The H-matrices are an important class in the matrix theory, and have many applications. Recently, this concept has been extended to higher order ℋ-Tensors. In this paper, we establish important properties of diagonally dominant Tensors and ℋ-Tensors. Distributions of eigenvalues of nonsingular symmetric ℋ-Tensors are given. An ℋ+-Tensor is semi-positive, which enlarges the area of semi-positive Tensor from M-Tensor to ℋ+-Tensor. The spectral radius of Jacobi Tensor of a nonsingular (resp. singular) ℋ-Tensor is less than (resp. equal to) one. In particular, we show that a quasi-diagonally dominant Tensor is a nonsingular ℋ-Tensor if and only if all of its principal sub-Tensors are nonsingular ℋ-Tensors. An irreducible Tensor A is an ℋ-Tensor if and only if it is quasi-diagonally dominant.

• Some results on the generalized inverse of Tensors and idempotent Tensors
arXiv: Numerical Analysis, 2014
Co-Authors: Lizhu Sun, Baodong Zheng, Yimin Wei
Abstract:

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an order $t$ dimension $m\times n\times \cdots \times n$ Tensor over complex field. In this paper, we study some {generalized inverses} of $\mathcal{A}$, the {$k$-T-idempotent Tensors} and the idempotent Tensors based on the general Tensor product. Using the Tensor generalized inverse, some solutions of the equation $\mathcal{A}\cdot x^{t-1}=b$ are given, where $x$ and $b$ are dimension $n$ and $m$ vectors, respectively. The {generalized inverses} of some block Tensors, the eigenvalues of {$k$-T-idempotent Tensors} and idempotent Tensors are given. And the relation between the generalized inverses of Tensors and the $k$-T-idempotent Tensors is also showed.

• Positive definiteness of paired symmetric Tensors and elasticity Tensors
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2018
Co-Authors: Zheng-hai Huang
Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we consider higher order paired symmetric Tensors and strongly paired symmetric Tensors. Elasticity Tensors and higher order elasticity Tensors in solid mechanics are strongly paired symmetric Tensors. A (strongly) paired symmetric Tensor is said to be positive definite if the homogeneous polynomial defined by it is positive definite. Positive definiteness of elasticity and higher order elasticity Tensors is strong ellipticity in solid mechanics, which plays an important role in nonlinear elasticity theory. We mainly investigate positive definiteness of fourth order three dimensional and sixth order three dimensional (strongly) paired symmetric Tensors. We first show that the concerned (strongly) paired symmetric Tensor is positive definite if and only if its smallest M -eigenvalue is positive. Second, we propose several necessary and sufficient conditions under which the concerned (strongly) paired symmetric Tensor is positive definite. Third, we study the conditions under which the homogeneous polynomial defined by a fourth order three dimensional or sixth order three dimensional (strongly) paired symmetric Tensor can be written as a sum of squares of polynomials, and further, propose several necessary and/or sufficient conditions to judge whether the concerned (strongly) paired symmetric Tensors are positive definite or not. Fourth, by using semidefinite relaxation we propose a sequential semidefinite programming method to compute the smallest M -eigenvalue of a fourth order three dimensional (strongly) paired symmetric Tensor, by which we can check positive definiteness of the concerned Tensor. The preliminary numerical results confirm our theoretical findings.

• Exceptionally regular Tensors and Tensor complementarity problems
Optimization Methods and Software, 2016
Co-Authors: Yong Wang, Zheng-hai Huang, Xue-li Bai
Abstract:

Recently, many structured Tensors are defined and their properties are discussed in the literature. In this paper, we introduce a new class of structured Tensors, called exceptionally regular ER Tensor, which is relevant to the Tensor complementarity problem TCP. We show that this class of Tensors is a wide class of Tensors which includes many important structured Tensors as its special cases. By constructing two examples, we demonstrate that an ER-Tensor can be, but not always, an R-Tensor. We also show that within the class of the semi-positive Tensors, the class of ER-Tensors coincides with the class of R-Tensors. In particular, we consider the TCP with an ER-Tensor and show that its solution set is nonempty and compact. In addition, we also obtain that the solution sets of the TCP with an R-Tensor or a -Tensor are nonempty and compact.

• On $Q$-Tensors
arXiv: Optimization and Control, 2015
Co-Authors: Zheng-hai Huang, Yun-yang Suo, Jie Wang
Abstract:

One of the central problems in the theory of linear complementarity problems (LCPs) is to study the class of $Q$-matrices since it characterizes the solvability of LCP. Recently, the concept of $Q$-matrix has been extended to the case of Tensor, called $Q$-Tensor, which characterizes the solvability of the corresponding Tensor complementarity problem -- a generalization of LCP; and some basic results related to $Q$-Tensors have been obtained in the literature. In this paper, we extend two famous results related to $Q$-matrices to the Tensor space, i.e., we show that within the class of strong $P_0$-Tensors or nonnegative Tensors, four classes of Tensors, i.e., $R_0$-Tensors, $R$-Tensors, $ER$-Tensors and $Q$-Tensors, are all equivalent. We also construct several examples to show that three famous results related to $Q$-matrices cannot be extended to the Tensor space; and one of which gives a negative answer to a question raised recently by Song and Qi.

• elasticity m Tensors and the strong ellipticity condition
Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2020
Co-Authors: Weiyang Ding, Liqun Qi
Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we establish two sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity of any fourth-order elasticity Tensor and investigate a class of Tensors satisfying the strong ellipticity condition, the elasticity M -Tensor. The first sufficient condition is that the strong ellipticity holds if the unfolding matrix of this fourth-order elasticity Tensor can be modified into a positive definite one by preserving the summations of some corresponding entries. Second, an alternating projection algorithm is proposed to verify whether an elasticity Tensor satisfies the first condition or not. Besides, the elasticity M -Tensor is defined with respect to the M-eigenvalues of elasticity Tensors. We prove that any nonsingular elasticity M -Tensor satisfies the strong ellipticity condition by employing a Perron-Frobenius-type theorem for M-spectral radii of nonnegative elasticity Tensors. Other equivalent definitions of nonsingular elasticity M -Tensors are also established.

• Bayesian multi-Tensor factorization
Machine Learning, 2016
Co-Authors: Suleiman A. Khan, Eemeli Leppäaho, Samuel Kaski
Abstract:

We introduce Bayesian multi-Tensor factorization, a model that is the first Bayesian formulation for joint factorization of multiple matrices and Tensors. The research problem generalizes the joint matrix–Tensor factorization problem to arbitrary sets of Tensors of any depth, including matrices, can be interpreted as unsupervised multi-view learning from multiple data Tensors, and can be generalized to relax the usual trilinear Tensor factorization assumptions. The result is a factorization of the set of Tensors into factors shared by any subsets of the Tensors, and factors private to individual Tensors. We demonstrate the performance against existing baselines in multiple Tensor factorization tasks in structural toxicogenomics and functional neuroimaging.
