Abstract
In this paper, a relaxation-type high-order compact finite difference (RCFD) scheme is proposed for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. More specifically, the relaxation approach combined with the Crank-Nicolson formula is utilized for time discretization, and fourth-order compact difference method is applied for space discretization. The scheme is linear, decoupled, and can be solved sequentially with respect to the primal and relaxation variables, which avoids solving large-scale nonlinear algebraic systems resulting in fully implicit numerical schemes. Furthermore, the developed scheme is shown to preserve both mass and energy at the discrete level. Most importantly, with the help of a discrete elliptic projection and a cut-off numerical technique, the existence and uniqueness of the high-order RCFD scheme are ensured, and unconditional optimal-order error estimate in discrete maximum-norm is rigorously established. Finally, several numerical experiments are given to support the theoretical findings, and comparisons with other methods are also presented to show the efficiency and effectiveness of our method.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for the publication of high quality research and tutorial papers in computational mathematics. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in numerical analysis, the journal also publishes papers describing relevant applications in such fields as physics, fluid dynamics, engineering and other branches of applied science with a computational mathematics component. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are:
(i) Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational mathematics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research, in which other than strictly mathematical arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.
(ii) Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Numerical Mathematics, Scientific Computing and their Applications. The journal will occasionally publish contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers.
(iii) Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.
