For a 4th order 3-dimensional cyclic symmetric tensor, a sufficient and necessary condition is bulit for its positive semi-definiteness. A sufficient and necessary condition of positive definiteness is showed for a 4th order $n$-dimensional…

In this paper, we mainly dicuss the non-negativity conditions for quartic homogeneous polynomials with 3 variables, which is the analytic conditions of copositivity of a class of 4th order 3-dimensional symmetric tensors. For a 4th order…

It is well-known that a symmetric matrix with its entries $\pm1$ is not positive definite. But this is not ture for symmetric tensors (hyper-matrix). In this paper, we mainly dicuss the positive (semi-)definiteness criterion of a class of…

This paper focuses on the strict copositivity analysis of 4th-order 3-dimensional symmetric tensors. A necessary and sufficient condition is provided for the strict copositivity of a fourth-order symmetric tensor. Subsequently, building…

In this paper, we consider higher order paired symmetric tensors and strongly paired symmetric tensors. Elasticity tensors and higher order elasticity tensors in solid mechanics are strongly paired symmetric tensors. A (strongly) paired…

In this article, we mainly give the strictly copositive conditions of a special class of third order three dimensional symmetric tensors. More specifically, by means of the polynomial decomposition method, the analytic sufficient and…

In particle physics, scalar potentials have to be bounded from below in order for the physics to make sense. The precise expressions of checking lower bound of scalar potentials are essential, which is an analytical expression of checking…

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an even order three dimensional strongly symmetric circulant tensor to be positive semi-definite. In some cases, we show that this condition is also sufficient for this tensor…

The strict opositivity of 4th order symmetric tensor may apply to detect vacuum stability of general scalar potential. For finding analytical expressions of (strict) opositivity of 4th order symmetric tensor, we may reduce its order to 3rd…

In this paper, we seek analytically checkable necessary and sufficient condition for copositivity of a three-dimensional symmetric tensor. We first show that for a general third order three-dimensional symmetric tensor, this means to solve…

We establish several sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity of any fourth-order elasticity tensor in this paper. The first presented sufficient condition is an extension of positive definite matrices, which states that the strong…

In this paper, it is proved that (strict) copositivity of a symmetric tensor $\mathcal{A}$ is equivalent to the fact that every principal sub-tensor of $\mathcal{A}$ has no a (non-positive) negative $H^{++}$-eigenvalue. The necessary and…

We define lower triangular tensors, and show that all diagonal entries of such a tensor are eigenvalues of that tensor. We then define lower triangular sub-symmetric tensors, and show that the number of independent entries of a lower…

A symmetric tensor, which has a symmetric nonnegative decomposition, is called a completely positive tensor. We consider the completely positive tensor decomposition problem. A semidefinite algorithm is presented for checking whether a…

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…

In this paper, we focus on the positive definiteness and Hurwitz stability of interval tensors. First, we introduce auxiliary tensors $\mathcal{A}^z$ and establish equivalent conditions for the positive (semi-)definiteness of interval…

Let F be a homogeneous real polynomial of even degree in any number of variables. We consider the problem of giving explicit conditions on the coefficients so that F is positive definite or positive semi-definite. In this note we produce a…

A symmetric tensor is called copositive if it generates a multivariate form taking nonnegative values over the nonnegative orthant. Copositive tensors have found important applications in polynomial optimization and tensor complementarity…

Motivated by symmetric Cauchy matrices, we define symmetric Cauchy tensors and their generating vectors in this paper. Hilbert tensors are symmetric Cauchy tensors. An even order symmetric Cauchy tensor is positive semi-definite if and only…

In this note, simple proofs of certain well-known results involving the positive square root of positive matrices are given.
