Physical invariants-preserving compact difference schemes for the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger-KdV equations

Abstract

In this paper, we develop efficient compact difference schemes for the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger-KdV (CNLS-KdV) equations to conserve all the physical invariants, namely, the energy of oscillations, the number of plasmon, the number of particle and the momentum. By combining the exponential scalar auxiliary variable (E-SAV) approach, we reconstruct the original CNLS-KdV equations and adopt the compact difference method and Crank-Nicolson method to develop energy stable scheme. The E-SAV compact difference scheme preserves the total energy and the number of particle. We further introduce two Lagrange multipliers for the E-SAV reformulation system to develop compact difference scheme, which preserves exactly the number of plasmon and the momentum. At each time step for the second scheme, we only need to solve linear systems with constant coefficients and nonlinear quadratic algebraic equations which can be efficiently solved by Newton's iteration. Numerical experiments are given to show the effectiveness, accuracy and performance of the proposed schemes.
