## <a name="autoranktt-id"></a>auto_rank_tt

```python
tensorlearn.auto_rank_tt(tensor, epsilon)
```

This implementation of [tensor-train decomposition](https://github.com/rmsolgi/TensorLearn/tree/main/Tensor-Train%20Decomposition) determines the ranks automatically based on a given error bound according to [Oseledets (2011)](https://epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/090752286). Therefore the user does not need to specify the ranks. Instead the user specifies an upper error bound (epsilon) which bounds the error of the decomposition. For more information and details please see the page [tensor-train decomposition](https://github.com/rmsolgi/TensorLearn/tree/main/Tensor-Train%20Decomposition).


### Arguments 
- tensor < array >: The given tensor to be decomposed.

- epsilon < float >: [The error bound of decomposition](https://github.com/rmsolgi/TensorLearn/tree/main/Tensor-Train%20Decomposition#epsilon-id) in the range \[0,1\].

### Return
- TT factors < list of arrays >: The list includes numpy arrays of factors (or TT cores) according to TT decomposition. Length of the list equals the dimension of the given tensor to be decomposed.

[Example](https://github.com/rmsolgi/TensorLearn/blob/main/Tensor-Train%20Decomposition/example_tt.py)

This is an implementation using [numpy.linalg.svd](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.linalg.svd.html) with full_matrices=False. This method is used in [TT-SVD algorithm](https://github.com/rmsolgi/TensorLearn/tree/main/Tensor-Train%20Decomposition#ttsvd-id) in [auto_rank_tt](#autoranktt-id).

### Arguments
- x < 2D array >: the given matrix to be decomposed
