We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Two-level Tucker-TT-QTT format for optimized tensor calculus
Sergey Dolgov and Boris N. Khoromskij
Abstract
We propose a combined tensor format, which encapsulates the benefits of Tucker, Tensor Train (TT) and Quantized TT (QTT) formats. The structure is composed of subtensors in TT representations, so the approximation problem is proven to be stable. We describe all important algebraic and optimization operations, which are recast to the TT routines. Several examples on explicit function and operator representations are provided. The asymptotic storage complexity is at most cubic in the rank parameter, that is larger than for the QTT format, but the numerical examples manifest, that the ranks in the two-level format increase usually slower with the approximation accuracy than the QTT ones. In particular, we observe, that high rank peaks, which usually occur in the QTT representation, are significantly relaxed. Thus the reduced costs can be achieved.
