Description:
We study tensor product multiscale many-particle spaces with finite-order weights and their application for the electronic Schrödinger equation. Any numerical solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation using conventional discretization schemes is impossible due to its high dimensionality. Therefore, typically Monte Carlo methods (VMC/DMC) or nonlinear model approximations like Hartree-Fock (HF), coupled cluster (CC) or density functional theory (DFT) are used. In this work we develop and implement in parallel a numerical method based on adaptive sparse grids and a particle-wise subspace splitting with respect to one-particle functions which stem from a nonlinear rank-1 approximation. Sparse grids allow to overcome the exponential complexity exhibited by conventional discretization procedures and deliver a convergent numerical approach with guaranteed convergence rates. In particular, the introduced weighted many-particle tensor product multiscale approximation spaces include the common configuration interaction (CI) spaces as a special case. To realize our new approach, we first introduce general many-particle Sobolev spaces, which particularly include the standard Sobolev spaces as well as Sobolev spaces of dominated mixed smoothness. For this novel variant of sparse grid spaces we show estimates for the approximation and complexity orders with respect to the smoothness and decay parameters. With known regularity properties of the electronic wave function it follows that, up to logarithmic terms, the convergence rate is independent of the number of electrons and almost the same as in the two-electron case. However, besides the rate, also the dependence of the complexity constants on the number of electrons plays an important role for a truly practical method. Based on a splitting of the one-particle space we construct a subspace splitting of the many-particle space, which particularly includes the known ANOVA decomposition, the HDMR decomposition and the CI decomposition as special cases. Additionally, we ...
