Inexact Newton Method for M-Tensor Equations

We first investigate properties of M-tensor equations. In particular, we show that if the constant term of the equation is nonnegative, then finding a nonnegative solution of the equation can be done by finding a positive solution of a lower dimensional M-tensor equation. We then propose an inexact Newton method to find a positive solution to the lower dimensional equation and establish its global convergence. We also show that the convergence rate of the method is quadratic. At last, we do numerical experiments to test the proposed Newton method. The results show that the proposed Newton method has a very good numerical performance.
