\(\mathcal H\)-tensors and nonsingular \(\mathcal H\)-tensors (Q528211)

From the introduction: There are several equivalent definitions of \(H\)-matrices and nonsingular \(H\)-matrices. As we know, tensors are generalization of matrices. Whether can these definitions be generalized to the higher-order case? Are they still the equivalent conditions of higher-order \(H\)-tensors and nonsingular \(H\)-tensors? What properties of \(H\)-tensors and nonsingular \(H\)-tensors can they preserve? We partial address these questions in this paper. In this way, we obtain important properties of diagonally dominant tensors, irreducible diagonally dominant tensors, \(H\)-tensors, and nonsingular \(H\)-tensors. An \(H_{+}\)-tensor is semi-positive, which enlarges the area of semi-positive tensors from \(M\)-tensors to \(H_{+}\)-tensors. The spectral radius of Jacobi tensor of a nonsingular (singular) \(H\)-tensor is less than (equal to) one. We show that the class of \(H\)-tensors with nonnegative diagonal entries can be viewed as the closure of the class of \(H_{+}\)-tensors. Some distribution of eigenvalues are established. 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 quasidiagonally dominant.
