We study efficient spectral-collocation and continuation methods (SCCM) for rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and rotating two-component BECs in optical lattices, where the second kind Chebyshev polynomials are used as the basis functions for the trial function space. A novel two-parameter continuation algorithm is proposed for computing the ground state and first excited state solutions of the governing Gross-Pitaevskii equations (GPEs), where the classical tangent vector is split into two constraint conditions for the bordered linear systems. Numerical results on rotating two-component BECs and rotating two-component BECs in optical lattices are reported. The results on the former are consistent with the published numerical results.

We study efficient two-grid discretization schemes with two-loop continuation algorithms for computing wave functions of twocoupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations defined on the unit square and the unit disk. Both linear and quadratic approximations of the operator equations are exploited to derive the schemes. The centered difference approximations, the six-node triangular elements and the Adini elements are used to discretize the PDEs defined on the unit square. The proposed schemes also can compute stationary solutions of parameter-dependent reaction-diffusion systems. Our numerical results show that it is unnecessary to perform quadratic approximations.
