We consider Kolmogorov widths of finite sets of functions. Any orthonormal system of $N$ functions is rigid in $L_2$, i.e. it cannot be well approximated by linear subspaces of dimension essentially smaller than $N$. This is not true for…

We study the approximation of functions by tensor networks (TNs). We show that Lebesgue $L^p$-spaces in one dimension can be identified with tensor product spaces of arbitrary order through tensorization. We use this tensor product…

There has been continued interest in seeking a theorem describing optimal low-rank approximations to tensors of order 3 or higher, that parallels the Eckart-Young theorem for matrices. In this paper, we argue that the naive approach to this…

Tensor methods are among the most prominent tools for the numerical solution of high-dimensional problems where functions of multiple variables have to be approximated. These methods exploit the tensor structure of function spaces and apply…

We consider the problem of recovering a low-multilinear-rank tensor from a small amount of linear measurements. We show that the Riemannian gradient algorithm initialized by one step of iterative hard thresholding can reconstruct an…

We consider the problem of approximating a given matrix by a low-rank matrix so as to minimize the entrywise $\ell_p$-approximation error, for any $p \geq 1$; the case $p = 2$ is the classical SVD problem. We obtain the first provably good…

We study the approximation by tensor networks (TNs) of functions from classical smoothness classes. The considered approximation tool combines a tensorization of functions in $L^p([0,1))$, which allows to identify a univariate function with…

In this paper, we consider the Poisson equation on a "long" domain which is the Cartesian product of a one-dimensional long interval with a (d-1)-dimensional domain. The right-hand side is assumed to have a rank-1 tensor structure. We will…

Approximation of high-dimensional functions is a problem in many scientific fields that is only feasible if advantageous structural properties, such as sparsity in a given basis, can be exploited. A relevant tool for analysing sparse…

By a tensor we mean an element of a tensor product of vector spaces over a field. Up to a choice of bases in factors of tensor products, every tensor may be coordinatized, that is, represented as an array consisting of numbers. This note is…

For an $N \times N$ matrix $A$, its rank-$r$ rigidity, denoted $\mathcal{R}_A(r)$, is the minimum number of entries of $A$ that one must change to make its rank become at most $r$. Determining the rigidity of interesting explicit families…

Unlike the matrix case, computing low-rank approximations of tensors is NP-hard and numerically ill-posed in general. Even the best rank-1 approximation of a tensor is NP-hard. In this paper, we use convex optimization to develop…

A recurring theme in attempts to break the curse of dimensionality in the numerical approximations of solutions to high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) is to employ some form of sparse tensor approximation. Unfortunately,…

Tensor network contractions are widely used in statistical physics, quantum computing, and computer science. We introduce a method to efficiently approximate tensor network contractions using low-rank approximations, where each intermediate…

We consider a framework for the construction of iterative schemes for operator equations that combine low-rank approximation in tensor formats and adaptive approximation in a basis. Under fairly general assumptions, we obtain a rigorous…

We are interested in approximation of a multivariate function $f(x_1,\dots,x_d)$ by linear combinations of products $u^1(x_1)\cdots u^d(x_d)$ of univariate functions $u^i(x_i)$, $i=1,\dots,d$. In the case $d=2$ it is a classical problem of…

Given a sequence of Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities in $L_2$ on a compact space, Gr\"ochenig in \cite{G} discussed weighted least squares approximation and least squares quadrature. Inspired by this work, for all $1\le p\le\infty$, we…

The paper considers function-valued tensors, viewed as multidimensional arrays with entries in an abstract Hilbert space. Despite the absence of the algebraic structure of a field, the geometric inner-product structure suffices to introduce…
