A Lawson-time-splitting extended Fourier pseudospectral method for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent low regularity potential

Abstract

We propose a Lawson-time-splitting extended Fourier pseudospectral (LTSeFP) method for the numerical integration of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent potential that is of low regularity in space. For the spatial discretization of low regularity potential, we use an extended Fourier pseudospectral (eFP) method, i.e., we compute the discrete Fourier transform of the low regularity potential in an extended window. For the temporal discretization, to efficiently implement the eFP method for time-dependent low regularity potential, we combine the standard time-splitting method with a Lawson-type exponential integrator to integrate potential and nonlinearity differently. The LTSeFP method is both accurate and efficient: it achieves first-order convergence in time and optimal-order convergence in space in $L^2$-norm under low regularity potential, while the computational cost is comparable to the standard time-splitting Fourier pseudospectral method. Theoretically, we also prove such convergence orders for a large class of spatially low regularity time-dependent potential. Extensive numerical results are reported to confirm the error estimates and to demonstrate the superiority of our method.
