2 0 1 2 M - tensors and The Positive Definiteness of a Multivariate Form
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study M-tensors and various properties of M-tensors are given. Specially, we show that the smallest real eigenvalue of M-tensor is positive corresponding to a nonnegative eigenvector. We propose an algorithm to find the smallest positive eigenvalue and then apply the property to study the positive definiteness of a multivariate form.

M-Tensors and Some Applications
We introduce M -tensors. This concept extends the concept ofM -matrices. We denote Z-tensors as the tensors with nonpositive off-diagonal entries. We show that M -tensors must be Ztensors and the maximal diagonal entry must be nonnegative. The diagonal elements of a symmetric M -tensor must be nonnegative. A symmetric M -tensor is copositive. Based on the spectral theory of nonnegative tensors,...
متن کاملPositive Semi-definiteness of Generalized Anti-circulant Tensors
Anti-circulant tensors have applications in exponential data fitting. They are special Hankel tensors. In this paper, we extend the definition of anti-circulant tensors to generalized anticirculant tensors by introducing a circulant index r such that the entries of the generating vector of a Hankel tensor are circulant with module r. In the special case when r=n, where n is the dimension of the...

The " positive square " of any tensor is presented in a universal and unified manner , valid in Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and independently of any (anti)-symmetry properties of the tensor. For rank-m tensors, the positive square has rank 2m. Positive here means future, that is to say, satisfying the dominant property. The standard energy-momentum and super-energy tensors are ...
متن کاملFurther results on Cauchy tensors and Hankel tensors
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 tensorsw...
متن کاملClosed form representations and properties of the generalised Wendland functions
In this paper we investigate the generalisation of Wendland’s compactly supported radial basis functions to the case where the smoothness parameter is not assumed to be a positive integer or half-integer and the parameter l, which is chosen to ensure positive definiteness, need not take on the minimal value. We derive sufficient and necessary conditions for the generalised Wendland functions to...
