A set of bilinear forms can be evaluated with a multiplicative complexity lower than the rank of the associated tensor by allowing an arbitrarily small error. A topological interpretation of this fact is presented together with the error analysis. A complexity measure is introduced which takes into account the numerical stability of algorithms. Relations are established between the complexities of exact and approximate algorithms.
