M-eigenvalues of fourth-order partially symmetric tensors play important roles in the nonlinear elastic material analysis and the entanglement problem of quantum physics. In this paper, we introduce M-identity tensor and establish two M-eigenvalue inclusion intervals with n parameters for fourth-order partially symmetric tensors, which are sharper than some existing results. Numerical examples are proposed to verify the efficiency of the obtained results. As applications, we provide some checkable sufficient conditions for the positive definiteness and establish bound estimations for the M-spectral radius of fourth-order partially symmetric nonnegative tensors.

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 copositivity and positive definiteness of tensors given by such scalar potentials. Because the tensors given by general scalar potential are fourth-order and symmetric, our work mainly focuses on finding precise expressions to test copositivity and positive definiteness of fourth-order tensors in this paper. First of all, an analytically sufficient and necessary condition of positive definiteness is provided for fourth-order 2-dimensional symmetric tensors. For fourth-order 3-dimensional symmetric tensors, we give two analytically sufficient conditions of (strictly) copositivity by using proof technique of reducing orders or dimensions of such a tensor. Furthermore, an analytically sufficient and necessary condition of copositivity is showed for fourth-order 2-dimensional symmetric tensors. We also give several distinctly analytically sufficient conditions of (strict) copositivity for fourth-order 2-dimensional symmetric tensors. Finally, these results may be applied to check lower bound of scalar potentials, and to present analytical vacuum stability conditions for potentials of two real scalar fields and the Higgs boson.

In this paper, we give a new Z-eigenvalue localization set for Z-eigenvalues of structured fourth order tensors. As applications, a sharper upper bound for the Z-spectral radius of weakly symmetric nonnegative fourth order tensors is obtained and a new Z-eigenvalue based sufficient condition for the positive definiteness of fourth order tensors is also presented. Finally, numerical examples are given to verify the efficiency of our results.

Identifying the positive definiteness of even-order real symmetric tensors is an important component in tensor analysis. H-tensors have been utilized in identifying the positive definiteness of this kind of tensor. Some new practical criteria for identifying H-tensors are given in the literature. As an application, several sufficient conditions of the positive definiteness for an even-order real symmetric tensor were obtained. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We formulate effective necessary and sufficient conditions to identify the symmetry class of an elasticity tensor, a fourth-order tensor which is the cornerstone of the theory of elasticity and a toy model for linear constitutive laws in physics. The novelty is that these conditions are written using polynomial covariants. As a corollary, we deduce that the symmetry classes are affine algebraic sets, a result which seems to be new. Meanwhile, we have been lead to produce a minimal set of 70 generators for the covariant algebra of a fourth-order harmonic tensor and introduce an original generalized cross-product on totally symmetric tensors. Finally, using these tensorial covariants, we produce a new minimal set of 294 generators for the invariant algebra of the elasticity tensor.

AbstractNew iterative codes for identifying 𝓗 -tensor are obtained. As an application, some sufficient conditions of the positive definiteness for an even-order real symmetric tensor, i.e., an even-degree homogeneous polynomial form are given. Advantages of results obtained are illustrated by numerical examples.
