Exponential convergence of Sobolev gradient descent for a class of nonlinear eigenproblems.

TLDR
Using the Łojasiewicz inequality, it is shown that a Sobolev gradient descent method with adaptive inner product converges exponentially fast to the ground state for the Gross-Pitaevskii eigenproblem.
Abstract
We propose to use the Łojasiewicz inequality as a general tool for analyzing the convergence rate of gradient descent on a Hilbert manifold, without resorting to the continuous gradient flow. Using this tool, we show that a Sobolev gradient descent method with adaptive inner product converges exponentially fast to the ground state for the Gross-Pitaevskii eigenproblem. This method can be extended to a class of general high-degree optimizations or nonlinear eigenproblems under certain conditions. We demonstrate this generalization by several examples, in particular a nonlinear Schrodinger eigenproblem with an extra high-order interaction term. Numerical experiments are presented for these problems.

TL;DR: A local linear rate of convergence is established and global convergence towards an eigenfunction is proved in the case of the Gross-Pitaevskii eigenvalue problem and this quantitative convergence analysis is closely connected to the J-method's unique feature of sensitivity with respect to spectral shifts.
