Positive semidefiniteness conjecture for even-order symmetric quasi-double B0-tensors

Let B=(bi1im)\mathcal{B}=(b_{i_1\cdots i_m}) be a tensor of order mm and dimension nn. For i,jNi,j\in N with iji\neq j, suppose that

(biiβi(B))(bjjβj(B)Δji(B))(βj(B)bjii)Δi(B).(b_{i\cdots i}-\beta_i(\mathcal{B}))\left(b_{j\cdots j}-\beta_j(\mathcal{B})-\Delta_j^i(\mathcal{B})\right)\geq\left(\beta_j(\mathcal{B})-b_{ji\cdots i}\right)\Delta_i(\mathcal{B}).

Here, B\mathcal{B} is a quasi-double B0B_0-tensor when these inequalities hold for all such i,ji,j. Positive semidefiniteness conjecture. Every even-order symmetric quasi-double B0B_0-tensor is positive semidefinite. The preceding results establish positive definiteness for even-order symmetric double and quasi-double BB-tensors, but the method does not prove positive semidefiniteness under the weakened B0B_0-condition; this remains an open problem.
