Irrational-window-filter projection method and application to quasiperiodic Schrödinger eigenproblems

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, the irrational-window-filter projection method (IWFPM), for solving arbitrary dimensional global quasiperiodic systems. Based on the projection method, IWFPM further utilizes the concentrated distribution of Fourier coefficients to filter out relevant spectral points using an irrational window. Moreover, a corresponding index-shift transform is designed to make the Fast Fourier Transform available. The corresponding error analysis on the function approximation level is also given. We apply IWFPM to 1D, 2D, and 3D quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger eigenproblems to demonstrate its accuracy and efficiency. For both extended and localized quantum states, IWFPM exhibits a significant computational advantage over PM. Furthermore, the widespread existence of such spectral point distribution feature can endow IWFPM with significant potential for broader applications in quasiperiodic systems.
