Description
The current method of comparing
EigenTensors fails in certain cases. Currently, the difference between two tensors is summed and compared to zero. In general, this method has an issue when the differences of the individual terms are not zero but their sum is zero (as was happening in the changed unit test). Specifically forsigma::uncertainvalues, the comparison toFloatType(0.0)would almost never return true since the difference values still track error sources whose contributions have been negated up to that point. This PR updates the comparison operator forEigenTensorto an element-wise boolean comparison and then reducing those values.
