Finite volumes for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Abstract: We study the approximation by a Voronoi finite-volume scheme of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent potential in two and three dimensions. We perform an explicit splitting scheme for the time integration alongside a two-point flux approximation scheme in space. We rigorously analyze the error bounds relying on discrete uniform Sobolev inequalities. We also prove the convergence of the pseudo-vorticity of the wave function. We finally perform some numerical simulations to illustrate our theoretical results.
