Method and computer library for calculation of the Boltzmann collision integrals on discrete momentum lattice

Phys Rev E. 2023 May;107(5-2):055304. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.107.055304.

Abstract

We present a general and numerically efficient method for calculation of collision integrals for interacting quantum gases on a discrete momentum lattice. Here we employ the original analytical approach based on Fourier transform covering a wide spectrum of solid-state problems with various particle statistics and arbitrary interaction models, including the case of momentum-dependent interaction. The comprehensive set of the transformation principles is given in detail and realized as a computer Fortran 90 library FLBE (Fast Library for Boltzmann Equation).
