A Hermite pseudo-spectral method for solving systems of Gross-Pitaevskii equations

We propose and analyze discretization methods for solving finite systems of nonlinearly coupled Schrödinger equations, which arise as an asymptotic limit of the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with strongly anisotropic potential. A pseudo-spectral method with Hermite basis functions comb...

Sumario:We propose and analyze discretization methods for solving finite systems of nonlinearly coupled Schrödinger equations, which arise as an asymptotic limit of the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with strongly anisotropic potential. A pseudo-spectral method with Hermite basis functions combined with a Crank-Nicolson type method is introduced. Numerical experiments are presented, including a comparison with an alternative discretization approach. © 2007 International Press.
