Riemannian optimization on low-rank tensor train manifolds for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation
Abstract
This work is concerned with the numerical computation of Gross-Pitaevskii ground states using the tensor train (TT) format. We regard the problem as the minimization of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional under a unit mass constraint, and propose a first-order Riemannian optimization scheme that preserves both the mass constraint and the low-rank representation throughout the optimization, by operating on the manifold of unit-norm functions of fixed TT-rank. On this manifold, we derive the energy-adaptive Riemannian gradient and show how to compute it efficiently in the TT format. Spatial discretization is performed using a spectral method with numerical integration, which allows the required computations to be carried out efficiently while preserving the low-rank format. The method is shown to substantially reduce computational time compared to full-rank computations, while maintaining accuracy for both single- and multicomponent Gross-Pitaevskii equations.
