On Nonnegative Solution of Multi-Linear System with Strong $\mathcal{M}_z$-Tensors

Abstract

A class of structured multi-linear system defined by strong $\mathcal{M}_z$-tensors is considered. We prove that the multi-linear system with strong $\mathcal{M}_z$-tensors always has a nonnegative solution under certain condition by the fixed point theory. We also prove that the zero solution is the only solution of the homogeneous multi-linear system for some structured tensors, such as strong $\mathcal{M}$-tensors, $\mathcal{H}^+$-tensors, strictly diagonally dominant tensors with positive diagonal elements. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
