In this paper, we propose a numerical method to approximate the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation with periodic boundary condition in a high-dimensional setting. We discretize space by using the Fourier pseudo-spectral method on rank-$1$ lattice points, and then discretize time by using a higher-order exponential operator splitting method. In this scheme the convergence rate of the time discretization depends on properties of the spatial discretization. We prove that the proposed method, using rank-$1$ lattice points in space, allows to obtain higher-order time convergence, and, additionally, that the necessary condition on the space discretization can be independent of the problem dimension $d$. We illustrate our method by numerical results from 2 to 8 dimensions which show that such higher-order convergence can really be obtained in practice.

We approximate the solution for the time dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE) in two steps. We first use a pseudo-spectral collocation method that uses samples of functions on rank-1 or rank-r lattice points with unitary Fourier transforms. We then get a system of ordinary differential equations in time, which we solve approximately by stepping in time using the Strang splitting method. We prove that the numerical scheme proposed converges quadratically with respect to the time step size, given that the potential is in a Korobov space with the smoothness parameter greater than $9/2$. Particularly, we prove that the required degree of smoothness is independent of the dimension of the problem. We demonstrate our new method by comparing with results using sparse grids from [12], with several numerical examples showing large advantage for our new method and pushing the examples to higher dimensionality. The proposed method has two distinctive features from a numerical perspective: (i) numerical results show the error convergence of time discretization is consistent even for higher-dimensional problems; (ii) by using the rank-$1$ lattice points, the solution can be efficiently computed (and further time stepped) using only $1$-dimensional Fast Fourier Transforms.
Many problems encountered in plasma physics require a description by kinetic equations, which are posed in an up to six-dimensional phase space. A direct discretization of this phase space, often called the Eulerian approach, has many advantages but is extremely expensive from a computational point of view. In the present paper we propose a dynamical low-rank approximation to the Vlasov--Poisson equation, with time integration by a particular splitting method. This approximation is derived by constraining the dynamics to a manifold of low-rank functions via a tangent space projection and by splitting this projection into the subprojections from which it is built. This reduces a time step for the six- (or four-) dimensional Vlasov--Poisson equation to solving two systems of three- (or two-) dimensional advection equations over the time step, once in the position variables and once in the velocity variables, where the size of each system of advection equations is equal to the chosen rank. By a hierarchical dynamical low-rank approximation, a time step for the Vlasov--Poisson equation can be further reduced to a set of six (or four) systems of one-dimensional advection equations, where the size of each system of advection equations is still equal to the rank. The resulting systems of advection equations can then be solved by standard techniques such as semi-Lagrangian or spectral methods. Numerical simulations in two and four dimensions for linear Landau damping, for a two-stream instability and for a plasma echo problem highlight the favorable behavior of this numerical method and show that the proposed algorithm is able to drastically reduce the required computational effort.
A novel class of high-order linearly implicit energy-preserving exponential integrators are proposed for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We firstly done that the original equation is reformulated into a new form with a modified quadratic energy b y the scalar auxiliary variable approach. The spatial derivatives of the system are then approximated with the standard Fourier pseudo-spectral method. Subsequently, we apply the extrapolation technique to the nonlinear term of the semi-discretized system and a linearized system is obtained. Based on the Lawson transformation, the linearized system is rewritten as an equivalent one and we further apply the symplectic Runge-Kutta method to the resulting system to gain a fully discrete scheme. We show that the proposed scheme can produce numerical solutions along which the modified energy is precisely conserved, as is the case with the analytical solution and is extremely efficient in the sense that only linear equations with constant coefficients need to be solved at every time step. Numerical results are addressed to demonstrate the remarkable superiority of the proposed schemes in comparison with other high-order structure-preserving method.

The Allen-Cahn equation is solved numerically by operator splitting Fourier spectral methods. The basic idea of the operator splitting method is to decompose the original problem into sub-equations and compose the approximate solution of the original equation using the solutions of the subproblems. Unlike the first and the second order methods, each of the heat and the free-energy evolution operators has at least one backward evaluation in higher order methods. We investigate the effect of negative time steps on a general form of third order schemes and suggest three third order methods for better stability and accuracy. Two fourth order methods are also presented. The traveling wave solution and a spinodal decomposition problem are used to demonstrate numerical properties and the order of convergence of the proposed methods.
The Schrodinger equation in the presence of an external electromagnetic field is an important problem in computational quantum mechanics. It also provides a nice example of a differential equation whose flow can be split with benefit into three parts . After presenting a splitting approach for three operators with two of them being unbounded, we exemplarily prove first-order convergence of Lie splitting in this framework. The result is then applied to the magnetic Schrodinger equation, which is split into its potential, kinetic and advective parts. The latter requires special treatment in order not to lose the conservation properties of the scheme. We discuss several options. Numerical examples in one, two and three space dimensions show that the method of characteristics coupled with a nonequispaced fast Fourier transform (NFFT) provides a fast and reliable technique for achieving mass conservation at the discrete level.
