Some kind of product of two 2d tensors to create a 3d tensor?

I recently need to apply the following concept of product of two 2d tensors to create a 3d tensor (tensors understood as generalized arrays): given two 2d tensors $A_{m\times n}$ and $B_{n\times p}$, ...

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}^...

Why some operations on tensors don't give a tensor? [closed]

I asked the following question on math.stackexchange but no one seemed to have an authorative answer so I'm posting here hoping that experts will see it. The gradient is a tensor $\nabla f:\mathbf{V} \...

Characterization of all-orthogonal tensors

In the paper [1], it is proven in Theorem 2 that any $n$-tensor $\mathcal{A}\in\mathbb{R}^{d_1\times...\times d_n}$ can be decomposed as $$ \mathcal{A}=\mathcal{S} \times_1 U_1 ...\times_n U_n $$ ...

Rank-1 decomposability of symmetric tensors

My question is about rank-1 decomposability of symmetric tensors over the reals. Let $v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be vectors. Construct the object: $$ V=\sum_{j=1}^n \underbrace{v_j\otimes v_j\...

On symmetric tensors with same rank, different orders

Let $A,B$ be two symmetric tensors of same rank $m$; and orders $k$ and $\ell$, respectively. In particular, assume that $A,B$ admits the following structure: There exists $v_1,\dots,v_m\in\mathbb{R}^...

Is there any sort of higher-order SVD (quadratic and above) for dimensionality reduction?

(Posted this on math.stackexchange and cross.correlated over more than a week ago, but didn't get an answer, and this is a question in my research so this seems like it might have been the better ...

Is there a generalization of eigenvalues and eigenvectors to tensors?

Two perhaps ill-posed or just silly questions: Let $n>0$, $T$ be an $(n+2)$-tensor, and $\otimes$ denote the Kronecker product of tensors. Is there a tensor generalization for the fundamental ...
