Abstract
This paper is concerned with computing generalized eigenpairs of weakly symmetric tensors. We first show that computing generalized eigenpairs of weakly symmetric tensors is equivalent to finding the nonzero solutions of a nonlinear system of equations, and then propose a derivative-free spectral residual method for it. The method utilizes the residual vector as the search direction and incorporates a derivative-free nonmonotone line search strategy, avoiding any explicit information associated with the Jacobian matrix of the considered nonlinear system of equations. Additionally, the global convergence of the method is established. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate superior efficiency of the proposed method through comparisons with the alternating least squares (ALS) method and other existing approaches. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed method can capture more, and in some cases all, generalized eigenvalues of weakly symmetric tensors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.
The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
