Beschreibung:
<jats:p>We consider exponential Lawson multistep methods for the time integration of the equations of motion associated with the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree–Fock (MCTDHF) approximation for high-dimensional quantum dynamics. These provide high-order approximations at a minimum of evaluations of the computationally expensive nonlocal potential terms, and have been found to enable stable long-time integration. In this work, we prove convergence of the numerical approximation on finite time intervals under minimal regularity assumptions on the exact solution. A numerical illustration shows adaptive time propagation based on our methods.</jats:p>
