We analyze the barren plateau phenomenon in variational optimization of quantum circuits inspired by matrix product states (qMPS), tree tensor networks (qTTN), and multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz (qMERA). consider as cost function expectation value a Hamiltonian that is sum local terms. For randomly chosen parameters we show variance gradient decreases exponentially with distance...

Some statistical characteristics of completely random mappings and of random mappings with an absorbing or an attracting centre are calculated. Results are applied to validation of some phenomenological models of computer simulations of dynamical systems.
