contents A new approximation format for solutions of partial differential equations depending on infinitely many parameters is introduced. By combining low-rank tensor approximation in a selected subset of variables with a sparse polynomial expansion in the remaining parametric variables, it addresses in particular classes of elliptic problems where a direct polynomial expansion is inefficient, such as those arising from random diffusion coefficients with short correlation length. A convergent adaptive solver is proposed and analyzed that maintains quasi-optimal ranks of approximations and at the same time yields optimal convergence rates of spatial discretizations without coarsening. The results are illustrated by numerical tests.
