A basis-set based Fortran program to solve the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation for dilute Bose gases in harmonic and anharmonic traps. Nature of problem: It is widely believed that the static properties of dilute Bose condensates, as obtained in atomic traps, can be described to a fairly good accuracy by the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. This program presents an efficient approach to solving this equation. Solution method: The solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation corresponding to the condensates in atomic traps are expanded as linear combinations of simple-harmonic oscillator eigenfunctions. Thus, the Gross-Pitaevskii equation which is a second-order, nonlinear, differential equation, is transformed into a matrix eigenvalue problem. Thereby, its solutions are obtained in a self-consistent manner, using methods of computational linear algebra.
