Tensor-networks for High-order Polynomial Approximation: A Many-body Physics Perspective

Abstract

We analyze the problem of high-order polynomial approximation from a many-body physics perspective, and demonstrate the descriptive power of entanglement entropy in capturing model capacity and task complexity. Instantiated with a high-order nonlinear dynamics modeling problem, tensor-network models are investigated and exhibit promising modeling advantages. This novel perspective establish a connection between quantum information and functional approximation, which worth further exploration in future research.
