Tensors Structured Numerical Methods In Scientific Computing

Tensor Numerical Methods in Scientific Computing

The most difficult computational problems nowadays are those of higher dimensions. This research monograph offers an introduction to tensor numerical methods designed for the solution of the multidimensional problems in scientific computing. These methods are based on the rank-structured approximation of multivariate functions and operators by using the appropriate tensor formats. The old and new rank-structured tensor formats are investigated. We discuss in detail the novel quantized tensor approximation method (QTT) which provides function-operator calculus in higher dimensions in logarithmic complexity rendering super-fast convolution, FFT and wavelet transforms. This book suggests the constructive recipes and computational schemes for a number of real life problems described by the multidimensional partial differential equations. We present the theory and algorithms for the sinc-based separable approximation of the analytic radial basis functions including Green’s and Helmholtz kernels. The efficient tensor-based techniques for computational problems in electronic structure calculations and for the grid-based evaluation of long-range interaction potentials in multi-particle systems are considered. We also discuss the QTT numerical approach in many-particle dynamics, tensor techniques for stochastic/parametric PDEs as well as for the solution and homogenization of the elliptic equations with highly-oscillating coefficients.

Tensors-structured Numerical Methods in Scientific Computing

In the present paper, we give a survey of the recent results and outline future prospects of the tensor-structured numerical methods in applications to multidimensional problems in scientific computing. The guiding principle of the tensor methods is an approximation of multivariate functions and operators relying on certain separation of variables. Along with the traditional canonical and Tucker models, we focus on the recent quantics-TT tensor approximation method that allows to represent N-d tensors with log-volume complexity, O(dlog N). We outline how these methods can be applied in the framework of tensor truncated iteration for the solution of the high-dimensional elliptic/parabolic equations and parametric PDEs. Numerical examples demonstrate that the tensor-structured methods have proved their value in application to various computational problems arising in quantum chemistry and in the multi-dimensional/parametric FEM/BEM modelingthe tool apparently works and gives the promise for future use in challenging high-dimensional applications.
