The decompositions and positive semidefiniteness of fourth-order conjugate partial-symmetric tensors with applications
share
Conjugate partial-symmetric (CPS) tensor is a generalization of Hermitian matrices. For the CPS tensor decomposition some properties are presented. For real CPS tensors in particular, we note the subtle difference from the complex case of the decomposition. In addition to traditional decompositions in the form of the sum of rank-one tensors, we focus on the orthogonal matrix decomposition of CPS tensors, which inherits nice properties from decomposition of matrices. It then induces a procedure that reobtain the CPS decomposable property of CPS tensors. We also discuss the nonnegativity of the quartic real-valued symmetric conjugate form corresponding to fourth-order CPS tensors in real and complex cases, and establish its relationship to different positive semidefiniteness based on different decompositions. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate the applications of presented propositions.
