Abstract: In this paper, we present several sharper upper bounds for the M-spectral radius and Z-spectral radius based on the eigenvalues of some unfolding matrices of nonnegative tensors. Meanwhile, we show that these bounds could be tight for some special tensors. For a general nonnegative tensor which can be transformed into a matrix, we prove the maximal singular value of this matrix is an upper bound of its Z-eigenvalues. Some examples are provided to show these proposed bounds greatly improve some existing ones.
