For any interaction structure and any order of tensor products, we identify the limit free energy of the model in terms of a variational formula. Our approach consists of showing first that the limit free energy must be the viscosity solution to a certain Hamilton-Jacobi equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-12T11:25:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B44", "82D30" ], "keywords": [ "limit free energy", "general statistical inference model", "finite-rank tensor products", "interaction structure", "variational formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
