Newton-noda iteration for finding the Perron pair of a weakly irreducible nonnegative tensor (Q2402981)

A Newton-Noda iteration for computing the Perron pair of weakly irreducible nonnegative \(m\)th-order tensors, by combining the idea of Newton's method with the idea of the Noda iteration, is developed. A procedure to determine the parameters \(\theta_k\) such that the scalar sequence is monotonically decreasing is defined. Convergence of this sequence to the spectral radius of the tensor is guaranteed for any initial positive unit vector, as long as the sequence \(\{\theta_k\}\) so chosen is bounded below by a positive constant.
