Stimulated by odd-bipartite and even-bipartite hypergraphs, we define odd-bipartite （weakly odd-bipartie） and even-bipartite （weakly even- bipartite） tensors. It is verified that all even order odd-bipartite tensors are irreducible tensors, while all even-bipartite tensors are reducible no matter the parity of the order. Based on properties of odd-bipartite tensors, we study the relationship between the largest H-eigenvalue of a Z-tensor with nonnegative diagonal elements, and the largest H-eigenvalue of absolute tensor of that Z- tensor. When the order is even and the Z-tensor is weakly irreducible, we prove that the largest H-eigenvalue of the Z-tensor and the largest H-eigenvalue of the absolute tensor of that Z-tensor are equal, if and only if the Z-tensor is weakly odd-bipartite. Examples show the authenticity of the conclusions. Then, we prove that a symmetric Z-tensor with nonnegative diagonal entries and the absolute tensor of the Z-tensor are diagonal similar, if and only if the Z-tensor has even order and it is weakly odd-bipartite. After that, it is proved that, when an even order symmetric Z-tensor with nonnegative diagonal entries is weakly irreducible, the equality of the spectrum of the Z-tensor and the spectrum of absolute tensor of that Z-tensor, can be characterized by the equality of their spectral radii.
In this paper,we consider the positive semi-definite space tensor cone constrained convex program,its structure and algorithms.We study defining functions,defining sequences and polyhedral outer approximations for this positive semidefinite space tensor cone,give an error bound for the polyhedral outer approximation approach,and thus establish convergence of three polyhedral outer approximation algorithms for solving this problem.We then study some other approaches for solving this structured convex program.These include the conic linear programming approach,the nonsmooth convex program approach and the bi-level program approach.Some numerical examples are presented.
