Abstract
The concept of -matrix is extended to
-tensor, which also generalizes the concept of C-tensor. A necessary and sufficient condition for a tensor to be a
-tensor is provided. We analyse decompositions of
-tensors and prove that
-tensors are nonsingular. Positive linear combinations and Hadamard product of two
-tensors are also discussed. Finally, some properties of
-tensor are given to localize real eigenvalues of a tensor.
