Positive-definite structured-tensor conjecture for uniqueness of nonlinear complementarity solutions

Let mm and nn be positive integers, let qinRn\boldsymbol{q}in\boldsymbol{R}^{n}, and let AinSTm,n\mathcal{A}in ST_{m,n} be a structured tensor. The tensor A\mathcal{A} is positive definite when it satisfies the positive-definiteness condition used for STm,nST_{m,n}, and NCP(q,A)NCP(\mathbf{q},\mathcal{A}) denotes the nonlinear complementarity problem associated with q\mathbf{q} and A\mathcal{A}. The positive-definite structured-tensor conjecture. If AinSTm,n\mathcal{A}in ST_{m,n} is positive definite, then NCP(q,A)NCP(\mathbf{q},\mathcal{A}) has a unique solution. This conjecture asks whether the diagonalizability assumption in part (a) of Theorem 5 can be removed; resolving it would establish uniqueness under positive definiteness alone.
