'''Pseudo-spectral methods''' <ref>{{cite journal|last=Orszag|first=Steven A.|authorlink=Steven A. Orszag|year=1972|title=Comparison of Pseudospectral and Spectral Approximation|journal=Studies in Applied Mathematics|volume=51|issue=1972|pages=253–259}}</ref>  are a class of [[numerical methods]] used in [[applied mathematics]] and [[scientific computing]] for the solution of [[Partial differential equation|PDEs]], such as the direct simulation of a particle with an arbitrary [[wavefunction]] interacting with an arbitrary [[Potential energy|potential]]. They are related to [[spectral method]]s and are used extensively in computational fluid dynamics and other areas, but are demonstrated below on an example from [[quantum physics]].
If you would like use the '''MathML''' rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup]]

==Background==
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:
The Schrödinger wave equation,


: <math>H \psi(\mathbf{r},t) = i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \psi(\mathbf{r},t) </math>
'''MathML'''
:<math forcemathmode="mathml">E=mc^2</math>


can be written
<!--'''PNG'''  (currently default in production)
:<math forcemathmode="png">E=mc^2</math>


: <math>\frac{H}{i \hbar} \psi(\mathbf{r},t) = \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \psi(\mathbf{r},t) </math>
'''source'''
:<math forcemathmode="source">E=mc^2</math> -->

is given by
 
: <math> T = \frac{p^2}{2 m} = - \frac{\hbar^2}{2m} {\nabla}^2 </math>
 
and the potential energy <math>V</math> often depends only on position
(i.e., <math>V=V(\mathbf{r})</math>
).  We can write
 
: <math> \psi(\mathbf{r},t) = e^{-i (T + V(\mathbf{r})) t / \hbar} \psi(\mathbf{r},0). </math>
 
It is tempting to write
 
: <math> \psi(\mathbf{r},t) = e^{-i T t / \hbar} e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) t / \hbar}\psi(\mathbf{r},0) </math>
 
so that we may treat each factor separately.  However, this is only true if the operators <math>T</math> and <math>V(\mathbf{r})</math> [[Commutative property|commute]], which is not true in general.  Luckily, it turns out that
 
: <math> \psi(\mathbf{r},t) \approx e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) t / 2 \hbar} e^{-i T t / \hbar} e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) t / 2 \hbar}\psi(\mathbf{r},0) </math>
 
is a good approximation for small values of <math>t</math>.  This is known as the symmetric decomposition.  The heart of the pseudo-spectral method is using this approximation iteratively to calculate the wavefunction <math>\psi(\mathbf{r},t) </math> for arbitrary values of <math>t</math>.
 
==The method==
For simplicity, we will consider the one-dimensional case.  The method is readily extended to multiple dimensions.
 
Given <math>\psi(x,t) </math>, we wish to find <math>\psi(x,t + \Delta t) </math> where <math>\Delta t</math> is small.  The first step is to calculate an intermediate value <math>\phi_{1}(x)</math> by applying the rightmost operator in the symmetric decomposition,
 
: <math> \phi_{1}(x) = e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) \Delta t / 2 \hbar}\psi(x,t) </math>
 
This requires only a pointwise multiplication.  The next step is to apply the middle operator,
 
: <math> \phi_{2}(x) = e^{-i T \Delta t / \hbar} \phi_{1}(x) </math>
 
This is an infeasible calculation to make in [[configuration space]].  Fortunately, in [[momentum space]], the calculation is greatly simplified.  If <math> \Phi_{1}(k)</math> is the momentum space representation of <math>\phi_{1}(x)</math>, then
 
: <math> \Phi_{2}(k) = e^{i \hbar k^{2} \Delta t / 2 m} \Phi_{1}(k) </math>
 
which also requires only a pointwise multiplication.  Numerically, <math>\Phi_{1}(k)</math> is obtained from <math> \phi_{1}(x) </math> using the [[Fast Fourier transform]] (FFT) and <math> \phi_{2}(x) </math> is obtained from <math> \Phi_{2}(k) </math> using the inverse FFT.
 
The final calculation is
 
: <math>\psi(x,t + \Delta t) = e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) \Delta t / 2 \hbar}\phi_{2}(x) </math>
 
This sequence can be summarized as
 
: <math>\psi(x,t + \Delta t) = e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) \Delta t / 2 \hbar} \mathcal{F}^{-1} [e^{i \hbar k^{2} \Delta t / 2 m} \mathcal{F} [e^{-i V(\mathbf{r}) \Delta t / 2 \hbar}\psi(x,t)] ] </math>
 
==Analysis of algorithm==
If the wavefunction is approximated by its value at <math>n</math> distinct points, each iteration requires 3 pointwise multiplications, one FFT, and one inverse FFT.  The pointwise multiplications each require <math>O(n)</math> effort, and the FFT and inverse FFT each require <math>O(n \lg n)</math> effort. The total computational effort is therefore determined largely by the FFT steps, so it is imperative to use an efficient (and accurate) implementation of the FFT. Fortunately, many are freely available.
 
==Error analysis==
{{Expand section|date=June 2008}}
The error in the pseudo-spectral method is overwhelmingly due to [[discretization error]].

This is a preview for the new MathML rendering mode (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

If you would like use the MathML rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[1]]

  • Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
  • Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

MathML

E=mc2


Follow this link to change your Math rendering settings. You can also add a Custom CSS to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See these examples.
