Abstract

H-tensor is a new developed concept which plays an important role in tensor analysis and computing. In this paper, we explore the properties of H-tensors and establish some new criteria for strong H-tensors. In particular, based on the principal subtensor, we provide a new necessary and sufficient condition of strong H-tensors, and based on a type of generalized diagonal product dominance, we establish some new criteria for identifying strong H-tensors. The results obtained in this paper extend the corresponding conclusions for strong H-matrices and improve the existing results for strong H-tensors.
