Let $n$ be a positive integer and $m$ be a positive even integer. Let ${\mathcal A}$ be an $m^{th}$ order $n$-dimensional real weakly symmetric tensor and ${\mathcal B}$ be a real weakly symmetric positive definite tensor of the same size. $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ is called a ${\mathcal B}_r$-eigenvalue of ${\mathcal A}$ if ${\mathcal A} x^{m-1} = \lambda {\mathcal B} x^{m-1}$ for some $x \in \mathbb{R}^n \backslash \{0\}$. In this paper, we introduce two unconstrained optimization problems and obtain some variational characterizations for the minimum and maximum ${\mathcal B}_r$--eigenvalues of ${\mathcal A}$. Our results extend Auchmuty's unconstrained variational principles for eigenvalues of real symmetric matrices. This unconstrained optimization approach can be used to find a Z-, H-, or D-eigenvalue of an even order weakly symmetric tensor. We provide some numerical results to illustrate the effectiveness of this approach for finding a Z-eigenvalue and for determining the positive semidefiniteness of an even order symmetric tensor.
Keywords: Weakly symmetric tensors, unconstrained optimization., even order, tensor eigenvalues, positive semi-definiteness.
