TL;DR
The paper tackles solving high-dimensional tensor equations of the form $\mathcal{A}_{*M}\mathcal{X}_{*M}\mathcal{B}=\mathcal{C}$ by introducing a two-step parameterized iterative framework under the $M$-product. It develops coupled tensor recursions with splittings $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{F}_1-\mathcal{G}_1$ and $\mathcal{B}=\mathcal{F}_2-\mathcal{G}_2$, augmented by parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$, and further strengthens convergence through preconditioning with $\mathcal{P}_1$ and $\mathcal{P}_2$. The work provides convergence proofs based on spectral radius conditions, derives an explicit preconditioned variant (PTPSI), and demonstrates applications to Sylvester tensor equations and regularized image deblurring, including Tikhonov-type formulations and least-squares solutions. Overall, the methodology offers scalable, efficient tensor-based solvers with practical impact on multidimensional data problems and image restoration, while outlining avenues for improved parameter selection and broader tensor-equation applications.
Abstract
Iterative methods based on tensors have emerged as powerful tools for solving tensor equations, and have significantly advanced across multiple disciplines. In this study, we propose two-step tensor-based iterative methods to solve the tensor equations $\mathcal{A}_{*M}\mathcal{X}_{*M}\mathcal{B}=\mathcal{C}$ by incorporating preconditioning techniques and parametric optimization to enhance convergence properties. The theoretical results were complemented by comprehensive numerical experiments that demonstrated the computational efficiency of the proposed two-step parametrized iterative methods. The convergence criterion for parameter selection has been studied and a few numerical experiments have been conducted for optimal parameter selection. Effective algorithms were proposed to compute iterative methods based on two-step parameterized tensors, and the results are promising. In addition, we discuss the solution of the Sylvester equations and a regularized least-squares solution for image deblurring problems.
