Vico-Greengard-Ferrando quadratures in the tensor solver for integral equations

Abstract

Convolution with Green's function of a differential operator appears in a lot of applications e.g. Lippmann-Schwinger integral equation. Algorithms for computing such are usually non-trivial and require non-uniform mesh. However, recently Vico, Greengard and Ferrando developed method for computing convolution with smooth functions with compact support with spectral accuracy, requiring nothing more than Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Their approach is very suitable for the low-rank tensor implementation which we develop using Quantized Tensor Train (QTT) decomposition.
