Linear homotopy method for computing generalized tensor eigenpairs

Let m,m′, n be positive integers such that m ≠ m′. Let A be an mth order n-dimensional tensor, and let ? be an m′th order n-dimensional tensor. λ ∈ ? is called a ?-eigenvalue of A if A x^m?1 = λ?x^m′?1 and ?xm′= 1 for some x ∈ ?ⁿ\{0}. In this paper, we propose a linear homotopy method for solving this eigenproblem. We prove that the method finds all isolated ?-eigenpairs. Moreover, it is easy to implement. Numerical results are provided to show the efficiency of the proposed method.
