Abstract

To locate the eigenvalues of a given tensor, we present two classes of new Ky Fan type eigenvalue inclusion sets for tensors, which are tighter than those in Yang et al. (SIAM J Matrix Anal Appl 31:2517–2530, 2010) and He et al. (J Inequal Appl 114:1-9, 2014), respectively. Under certain conditions, the theoretical comparisons of the new proposed Ky Fan type eigenvalue inclusion sets for tensors are established. As applications, some sufficient conditions for identifying strong \(\mathcal {M}\)-tensors, the non-singularity and positive definiteness of tensors are obtained. Some numerical examples are given to verify the validity of our theoretical results.
