Nevertheless, there are a number of unsolved issues that would be very interesting to clarify. Mostly they are questions related to the structure of rank sets in the case of canonical expansions and problems of justification and modernization of some popular tensor expansions optimization algorithms. In addition to an overview of the current situation in this area, the report will put the emphasis on the usredolved issues.
