From Eigenvalues/Eigenvectors of Hypermatrices to Canonical Form of Tensors
Abstract
The rings of non-square matrices based on the dimension-keeping (DK-) semi-tensor product (STP) are considered, where a virtual identity is introduced to make each ring possess an identity element. Using this ring structure, four kinds of eigenvalues/eigenvectors (EEs) of hypermatrices, namely, the ordinary EE (OEE), the universal EE (UEE), the diagonal EE (DEE), and the horizontal diagonal EE (HDEE), are proposed with respect to preassigned matricizings. The Kronecker canonical form (KCF) of non-square pencils is used to calculate the OEEs; the monic decomposition algorithm (MDA) is then applied to extract the UEEs, DEEs, and HDEEs from them. Finally, the KCF of non-square pencils is further used to construct the KCF of a tensor, which reveals all the EEs of the tensor. The KCF of a tensor not only shares the main properties of the Jordan canonical form of matrices but also includes the latter as a special case. Consequently, all the EEs of a hypermatrix are straightforwardly computable via its KCF.
