摘要

A tensor is a multidimensional analog of a matrix. Q-matrices have been extensively studied in the context of the linear complementarity problem due to their solvability for any given vector q. In this article, we extend certain results of Q-matrices to Q-tensors. Characterizing a tensor as a Q-tensor remains a challenging problem in the literature. In this article, we establish sufficient conditions under which a principal subtensor of a Q-tensor is also a Q-tensor. Furthermore, we extend a result due to Huang, Suo and Wang. It is well-known that R-tensors are Q-tensors, although the converse does not always hold. We also provide conditions under which a Q-tensor can be classified as an R-tensor. Additionally, we prove several results pertaining to positive (nonnegative) tensors.
