MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Concepts of Data-Sparse Tensor-Product Approximation in Many-Particle Modelling

Heinz-Jürgen Flad, Wolfgang Hackbusch, Boris N. Khoromskij and Reinhold Schneider

Abstract

We present concepts of data-sparse tensor approximations to the functions and operators arising in many-particle models of quantum chemistry.

Our approach is based on the systematic use of structured tensor-product representations where the low-dimensional components are represented in hierarchical or wavelet based matrix formats. The modern methods of tensor-product approximation in higher dimensions are discussed with the focus on analytically based approaches.

We give numerical illustrations which confirm the efficiency of tensor decomposition techniques in electronic structure calculations.
