Abstract

This paper discusses the computation of real Z-eigenvalues and H-eigenvalues of nonsymmetric tensors. A general nonsymmetric tensor has finitely many Z-eigenvalues, while there may be infinitely many ones for special tensors. In the contrast, every nonsymmetric tensor has finitely many H-eigenvalues. We propose Lasserre type semidefinite relaxation methods for computing such eigenvalues. For every nonsymmetric tensor that has finitely many real Z-eigenvalues, we can compute all of them; each of them can be computed by solving a finite sequence of semidefinite relaxations. For every nonsymmetric tensor, we can compute all its real H-eigenvalues; each of them can be computed by solving a finite sequence of semidefinite relaxations. Various examples are demonstrated.
