Abstract
Orthogonally decomposable (odeco) tensors is a special class of symmetric tensors. Previous works have focused on investigating its E-eigenpairs problem, and made some theoretical achievements concerning the number and the local optimality of E-eigenpairs. However, concerning local optimality of each eigenpair, the existing work only analyzed the third-order tensor case. In this paper, we further exploit this issue for any higher-order tensors by checking second-order necessary condition of the related constrained optimization model and deducing an equivalent matrix formula criterion for local optimality identification. Finally, a generalized conclusion for local optimality of eigenpairs for odeco tensors is provided, and some simulated experiments are conducted for validation.
