Noda iteration for computing generalized tensor eigenpairs.

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 M -tensor pairs. A generalized M -tensor pair consists of a weakly irreducible nonnegative tensor and a nonsingular M -tensor within a linear combination. It is shown that any generalized 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
