Abstract
In this lecture I give a brief review of low-dimensional few-body problems recently encountered in attempting a quantitative description of ultracold atoms and molecules confined in 2D and 1D optical lattices. Multi-channel nature of these processes has required the development of special computational methods and algorithms which I discuss here as well as the most interesting results obtained with the offered computational technique and future perspectives.
