Let $n \geq 3$ and $R_{abcd}$ be a $(4,0)$ sectionally positive curvature-type tensor (a tensor possessing all the local symmetries of the $(4,0)$ curvature tensor). Then there exists a metric tensor $g_{ab}$ such that $R_{abcd}\; g^{bd} =…

It is easily checkable if a given tensor is a B tensor, or a B$_0$ tensor or not. In this paper, we show that a symmetric B tensor can always be decomposed to the sum of a strictly diagonally dominated symmetric M tensor and several…

The tensor power method generalizes the matrix power method to higher order arrays, or tensors. Like in the matrix case, the fixed points of the tensor power method are the eigenvectors of the tensor. While every real symmetric matrix has…
