High-dimensional problems
High-dimensional problems appear in a variety of applications, including quantum physics and chemistry, probability and statistics, stochastic differential equations, problems with uncertain parameters or noise. Typically, these problems are too complex to be solved using pen and paper only --- numerical methods and high-performance calculations are essential. However, the numerical complexity (computer memory and time required to crunch the numbers) grow exponentially with the dimension and standard off-the-shelf algorithms struggle. To break the curse of dimensionality, we need to develop a new family of effective algorithms, capable to meet the main computational challenge of the 21st century.
Tensor product decompositions
To break the curse of dimensionality and make high-dimensional problems possible to solve in our computational practice, we need to develop a new family of effective algorithms. One of the most promising approaches is based on the idea of tensor product decomposition. Similar to a low-rank decomposition of a matrix, tensor product decomposition applied to a high-dimensional array (tensor) or a multivariate function separates the variables (indices) and treats each dimension (mode) separately. In many applications this leads to exponential savings of computational costs, dramatically reducing the time required to solve the problem and improving the accuracy of the results. Often the problems which were considered impossible to solve become possible with the help of tensor product decompositions.
