Noda Iteration for Computing Generalized Tensor Eigenpairs (2303.01327v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the tensor Noda iteration (NI) and its inexact version for solving the eigenvalue problem of a particular class of tensor pairs called generalized $\mathcal{M}$-tensor pairs. A generalized $\mathcal{M}$-tensor pair consists of a weakly irreducible nonnegative tensor and a nonsingular $\mathcal{M}$-tensor within a linear combination. It is shown that any generalized $\mathcal{M}$-tensor pair admits a unique positive generalized eigenvalue with a positive eigenvector. A modified tensor Noda iteration(MTNI) is developed for extending the Noda iteration for nonnegative matrix eigenproblems. In addition, the inexact generalized tensor Noda iteration method (IGTNI) and the generalized Newton-Noda iteration method (GNNI) are also introduced for more efficient implementations and faster convergence. Under a mild assumption on the initial values, the convergence of these algorithms is guaranteed. The efficiency of these algorithms is illustrated by numerical experiments.
