Tensor network subspace identification of polynomial state space models
For researchers in system identification, this work provides a computationally efficient method to handle high-dimensional polynomial nonlinearities, though it is domain-specific and incremental.
This paper presents a tensor network subspace algorithm for identifying polynomial state space models, achieving approximately 20x speedup over standard matrix methods and avoiding the curse of dimensionality.
This article introduces a tensor network subspace algorithm for the identification of specific polynomial state space models. The polynomial nonlinearity in the state space model is completely written in terms of a tensor network, thus avoiding the curse of dimensionality. We also prove how the block Hankel data matrices in the subspace method can be exactly represented by low rank tensor networks, reducing the computational and storage complexity significantly. The performance and accuracy of our subspace identification algorithm are illustrated by numerical experiments, showing that our tensor network implementation is around 20 times faster than the standard matrix implementation before the latter fails due to insufficient memory, is robust with respect to noise and can model real-world systems.
