Abstract
We present a well-posed ultra-weak space-time variational formulation for the time-dependent version of the linear Schrödinger equation with an instationary Hamiltonian. We prove optimal inf-sup stability and introduce a space-time Petrov-Galerkin discretization with optimal discrete inf-sup stability.
We show norm-preservation of the ultra-weak formulation. The inf-sup optimal Petrov-Galerkin discretization is shown to be asymptotically norm-preserving, where the deviation is shown to be in the order of the discretization. In addition, we introduce a Galerkin discretization, which has suboptimal inf-sup stability but exact norm-preservation.
Numerical experiments underline the performance of the ultra-weak space-time variational formulation, especially for non-smooth initial data.
期刊介绍:
The multidisciplinary Journal of Complexity publishes original research papers that contain substantial mathematical results on complexity as broadly conceived. Outstanding review papers will also be published. In the area of computational complexity, the focus is on complexity over the reals, with the emphasis on lower bounds and optimal algorithms. The Journal of Complexity also publishes articles that provide major new algorithms or make important progress on upper bounds. Other models of computation, such as the Turing machine model, are also of interest. Computational complexity results in a wide variety of areas are solicited.
