FFT-based Kronecker product approximation to micromagnetic long-range interactions

Lukas Exl, Claas Abert, Norbert J. Mauser et al.

We derive a Kronecker product approximation for the micromagnetic long range interactions in a collocation framework by means of separable sinc quadrature. Evaluation of this operator for structured tensors (Canonical format, Tucker format, Tensor Trains) scales below linear in the volume size. Based on efficient usage of FFT for structured tensors, we are able to accelerate computations to quasi linear complexity in the number of collocation points used in one dimension. Quadratic convergence of the underlying collocation scheme as well as exponential convergence in the separation rank of the approximations is proved. Numerical experiments on accuracy and complexity confirm the theoretical results.

A novel nonlocal potential solver based on nonuniform FFT for efficient simulation of the Davey-Stewartson equations

Norbert Mauser, Hans Peter Stimming, Yong Zhang

We propose an efficient and accurate solver for the nonlocal potential in the Davey-Stewartson equation using nonuniform FFT (NUFFT). A discontinuity in the Fourier transform of the nonlocal potential causes accuracy locking if the potential is solved by standard FFT with periodic boundary conditions on a truncated domain. Using the fact that the discontinuity disappears in polar coordinates, we reformulate the potential integral and split it into high and low frequency parts. The high frequency part can be approximated by the standard FFT method, while the low frequency part is evaluated with a high order Gauss quadrature accelerated by nonuniform FFT. The NUFFT solver has $O(N\log N)$ complexity, where $N$ is the total number of discretization points, and achieves higher accuracy than standard FFT solver, which makes it a good alternative in simulation. Extensive numerical results show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
