Tensor regression has attracted significant attention in statistical research. This study tackles the challenge of handling covariates with smooth varying structures. We introduce a novel framework, termed functional tensor regression, which incorporates both the tensor and functional aspects of the covariate. To address the high dimensionality and functional continuity of the regression coefficient, we employ a low Tucker rank decomposition along with smooth regularization for the functional mode. We develop a functional Riemannian Gauss--Newton algorithm that demonstrates a provable quadratic convergence rate, while the estimation error bound is based on the tensor covariate dimension. Simulations and a neuroimaging analysis illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed method.
