Experimental observation on a low-rank tensor model for eigenvalue problems

Here we utilize a low-rank tensor model (LTM) as a function approximator, combined with the gradient descent method, to solve eigenvalue problems including the Laplacian operator and the harmonic oscillator. Experimental results show the superiority of the polynomial-based low-rank tensor model (PLTM) compared to the tensor neural network (TNN). We also test such low-rank architectures for the classification problem on the MNIST dataset.
