Synopsis

In this paper we study a problem in multilinear algebra which consists of finding small values of a certain quotientμ/α. Here μ is the minimal eigenvalue of a positive definite operator determinant Δ of the type introduced by F. V. Atkinson, and α is the minimum of the quadratic form corresponding to Δ with respect to all decomposable tensors of unit norm. Our results are connected with earlier results of P. Binding.
