contents While the adjacency tensor of a bipartite 2-graph is a nonnegative biquadratic tensor, it is inherently reducible. To address this limitation, we introduce the concept of quasi-irreducibility in this paper. The adjacency tensor of a bipartite 2-graph is quasi-irreducible if that bipartite 2-graph is not bi-separable. This new concept reveals important spectral properties: although all M$^+$-eigenvalues are M$^{++}$-eigenvalues for irreducible nonnegative biquadratic tensors, the M$^+$-eigenvalues of a quasi-irreducible nonnegative biquadratic tensor can be either M$^0$-eigenvalues or M$^{++}$-eigenvalues. Furthermore, we establish a max-min theorem for the M-spectral radius of a nonnegative biquadratic tensor.
