We begin with the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations, and the ground state is defined as the minimizer of the energy functional under two constraints on the mass and magnetization. By constructing a continuous normalized gradient flow (CNGF) which is mass and magnetization conservative and energy-diminishing, the ground state can be computed as the steady state solution of the CNGF. The CNGF is then discretized by the Crank-Nicolson finite difference method with a proper way to deal with the nonlinear terms, and we prove that the discretization is mass and magnetization conservative and energy-diminishing in the discretized level. Numerical results of the ground state and their energy of spin-1 BECs are reported to demonstrate the efficiency of the numerical method. © 2007 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. | Source Title: | SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/102673 | ISSN: | 00361429 | DOI: | 10.1137/070681624 |
