In past few decades, tensor algebra also known as multi-linear algebra has been developed and customized as a tool to be used for various engineering applications. In particular, with the help of a special form of tensor contracted product, known as the Einstein Product and its properties, many of the known concepts from Linear Algebra could be extended to a multi-linear setting. This enables to define the notions of multi-linear system theory where the input, output signals and the system are multi-domain in nature. This paper provides an overview of tensor algebra tools which can be seen as an extension of linear algebra, at the same time highlighting the difference and advantages that the multi-linear setting brings forth. In particular, the notion of tensor inversion, tensor singular value and tensor Eigenvalue decomposition using the Einstein product is explained. In addition, this paper also introduces the notion of contracted convolution in both discrete and continuous multi-linear system tensors. Tensor Networks representation of various tensor operations is also presented. Also, application of tensor tools in developing transceiver schemes for multi-domain communication systems, with an example of MIMO CDMA systems, is presented. Thus this paper acts as an entry point tutorial for graduate students whose research involves multi-domain or multi-modal signals and systems. |
