Derivative of eigenpair with respect to matrix

Suppose that $A$ is real and symmetric matrix (or tensor) of dimension $3 \times 3$, with its spectral decomposition $$A = \sum_{i=1}^3 \lambda_i\ n_i\otimes n_i$$ where $\lambda_i$, $n_i$ and $\...

Spectral theorem for symmetric real tensors

Is there a definition of eigenvalues that allows to use a spectral theorem? Let $\mathbf{T}$ be a real fully symmetric tensor of order $3$ and size $N$. Its components can be represented as $T_{ijk}\...

Is it possible to reduce eigenvalues of tensors to an matrix eigenvalue problem?

Can we construct a larger matrix $M$ such that its eigenvalues are the same as the eigenvalues of a tensor $T$ of order 3? Let $\mathbf{T}$ be a fully symmetric tensor of order $3$ and size $N$. Its ...

Can the eigenvalues of a real symmetric tensor be complex?

Let $T$ be a fully symmetric tensor of rank $3$ and size $N$. Using the following definition of eigenvalues, let $x\in \mathbb{C}^N$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ such that: \begin{equation} \sum_{jk}^...

Quaternions as eigenvalues of rank 3 tensors

Let us consider a matrix $M^{(a)}$ of size $N \times N$, having $N$ eigenvalues $\lambda_i \in \mathbb{C}$. Considering a rank-3 tensor, we can informally think of it as a sequence of $N$ matrices $M^{...

Simple way to calculate the eigenvalues of a $2 \times 2 \times 2$ tensor

I am working with hypergraphs. The various matrices associated with hypergraphs are hypermatrix or tensors. I am interested in spectral aspects. In particular, I want to find all the eigenvalues ...

Eigenvalue and Eigenmatrix of a 3D Tensor - How to calculate it?

How to calculate easily the eigenmatrix of a 3D tensor. I try immersing the tensor in a big matrix, in my case, the tensor is of nxnxn and I can build an n^2 x n^2 matrix that contains all the "...

Derivative of eigenvalues w.r.t. a tensor

$E$ is a real, positive-definitive 3x3 symmetric tensor (I am thinking about the strain tensor in solid mechanics). We perform eigendecomposition and get: $$E_p=\sum_{i=1}^{3}λ_iN_i⊗N_i$$ into its ...
