Based on the S-type eigenvalue localization set developed by Li et al.
(Linear Algebra Appl. 493 (2016) 469-483) for tensors, a modified S-type
eigenvalue localization set for tensors is established in this paper by
excluding some sets from the existing S-type eigenvalue localization set
developed by Huang et al. (arXiv: 1602.07568v1, 2016). The proposed set
containing all eigenvalues of tensors is much sharper compared with that
employed by Li et al. and Huang et al. As its applications, a criteria,
which can be utilized for identifying the nonsingularity of tensors, is
developed. In addition, we provide new upper and lower bounds for the
spectral radius of nonnegative tensors and the minimum H-eigenvalue of
weakly irreducible strong M-tensors. These bounds are superior to some
previous results, which is illustrated by some numerical examples.
