Sharp bounds for spectral radius of nonnegative weakly irreducible tensors

We obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of a nonnegative weakly irreducible tensor.By using the technique of the representation associate matrix of a tensor and the associate directed graph of the matrix,the equality cases of the bounds are completely characterized by graph theory methods.Applying these bounds to a nonnegative irreducible matrix or a connected graph(digraph),we can improve the results of L.H.You,Y.J.Shu,and P.Z.Yuan[Linear Multilinear Algebra,2017,65(1):113-128],and obtain some new or known results.Applying these bounds to a uniform hypergraph,we obtain some new results and improve some known results of X.Y.Yuan,M.Zhang,and M.Lu[Linear Algebra Appl.,2015,484:540-549].Finally,we give a characterization of a strongly connected/c-uniform directed hypergraph,and obtain some new results by applying these bounds to a uniform directed hypergraph.
