Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Matrices and tensors are shown to be foundational and powerful tools for capturing linear and multilinear interactions in various disciplines and have extensive applications in science and engineering. Symmetry plays important roles in models, theory, and algorithms of matrices and tensors. Tensor decompositions, tensor spectral theory, tensor computations, numerical linear and multilinear algebra, structure matrices, tensor (matrix) low rank approximations, and their applications have been active research areas in recent years.

Although a remarkable number of papers have been contributed to theory, algorithms, and applications of tensors and matrices, it is still challenging and particularly important to develop problem-driven models, structure-exploiting algorithms, and associated mathematical theory for tensor- and matrix-related problems. The goal of this Special Issue is to attract original research papers on the models, theory, algorithms, and applications of tensors and matrices. These applications include automatic control, statistical inference, machine learning, data recovery, computer vision, image and video processing, graph and network analysis, and other data-driven applications.

The adaptive cubic regularization method solves an unconstrained optimization model by using a three-order regularization term to approximate the objective function at each iteration. Similar to the trust-region method, the calculation of the sub-problem highly affects the computing efficiency. The Lanczos method is an useful tool for simplifying the objective function in the sub-problem. In this paper, we implement the adaptive cubic regularization method with the aid of the Lanczos method, and analyze the error of Lanczos approximation. We show that both the error between the Lanczos objective function and the original cubic term, and the error between the solution of the Lanczos approximation and the solution of the original cubic sub-problem are bounded up by the condition number of the optimal Hessian matrix. Furthermore, we compare the numerical performances of the adaptive cubic regularization algorithm when using the Lanczos approximation method and the adaptive cubic regularization algorithm without using the Lanczos approximation for unconstrained optimization problems. Numerical experiments show that the Lanczos method improves the computation efficiency of the adaptive cubic method remarkably. Full article

In this paper, a two-step iteration method was established which can be viewed as a generalisation of the existing modulus-based methods for vertical linear complementarity problems. The convergence analysis of the proposed method is presented, which can enlarge the convergence domain of the parameter matrix compared to the recent results. Numerical examples show that the proposed method is efficient with the two-step technique and confirm the improvement of the theoretical results. Full article

For solving the large sparse generalized absolute value equations, recently a Newton-based accelerated over-relaxation (NAOR) method was investigated. In this paper, we widen the convergence regions for the parameters and establish a new convergence theorem of the NAOR method when the system matrix is an H+-matrix. Numerical examples demonstrate that the NAOR method has a better convergence performance when the parameters are taken according to the proposed convergence theorem. Full article

In this paper, we consider the split quaternion matrix equation XAf(X)B=C, f(X){X,XH,XiH,XjHXkH}. The H representation method has the characteristics of transforming a matrix with a special structure into a column vector with independent elements. By using the real representation of split quaternion matrices, H representation method, the Kronecker product of matrices and the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse, we convert the split quaternion matrix equation into the real matrix equation, and derive the sufficient and necessary conditions and the general solution expressions for the (skew) bisymmetric solution of the original equation. Moreover, we provide numerical algorithms and illustrate the efficiency of our method by two numerical examples. Full article

In this paper, we study the bisymmetric and skew bisymmetric solutions of quaternion generalized Lyapunov equation. With the help of semi-tensor product of matrices, some new conclusions on the expansion rules of row and column of matrix product on quaternion matrices are proposed and applied to the calculation of quaternion matrix equation. Using the H-representation method, the independent elements are extracted according to the structural characteristics of bisymmetric matrix and skew bisymmetric matrix, so as to simplify the operation process. Finally, it is compared with the real vector representation method of quaternion matrix equation to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. Full article
