  This paper introduces and analyses the new grid-based tensor approach to
approximate solution of the elliptic eigenvalue problem for the 3D
lattice-structured systems. We consider the linearized Hartree-Fock equation
over a spatial $L_1\times L_2\times L_3$ lattice for both periodic and
non-periodic problem setting, discretized in the localized Gaussian-type
orbitals basis. In the periodic case, the Galerkin system matrix obeys a
three-level block-circulant structure that allows the FFT-based
diagonalization, while for the finite extended systems in a box (Dirichlet
boundary conditions) we arrive at the perturbed block-Toeplitz representation
providing fast matrix-vector multiplication and low storage size. The proposed
grid-based tensor techniques manifest the twofold benefits: (a) the entries of
the Fock matrix are computed by 1D operations using low-rank tensors
represented on a 3D grid, (b) in the periodic case the low-rank tensor
structure in the diagonal blocks of the Fock matrix in the Fourier space
reduces the conventional 3D FFT to the product of 1D FFTs. Lattice type systems
in a box with Dirichlet boundary conditions are treated numerically by our
previous tensor solver for single molecules, which makes possible calculations
on rather large $L_1\times L_2\times L_3$ lattices due to reduced numerical
cost for 3D problems. The numerical simulations for both box-type and periodic
$L\times 1\times 1$ lattice chain in a 3D rectangular "tube" with $L$ up to
several hundred confirm the theoretical complexity bounds for the
block-structured eigenvalue solvers in the limit of large $L$.
