Abstract
In this paper, based on the method of order reduction in time, an energy-conservative modified Crank-Nicolson Galerkin scheme is proposed and the unconditionally superconvergent error analysis is investigated for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator in two dimensions. The existence and uniqueness of numerical solution are discussed. Unlike the boundedness of numerical solutions in L∞-norm used in the previous work, the key to our analysis is to novelly employ the boundedness of the numerical solution in H1-norm derived from the energy-conservative property to deal with the nonlinear term strictly and skillfully. By means of the high accuracy estimate of the bilinear element on the rectangular mesh,the unconditionally superclose error estimate is obtained without any restrictions on the ratio of temporal-spatial step-szie. Furthermore, the unconditionally superconvergence error estimate is acquired by an interpolation post-processing approach. Finally, numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the expected accuracy and conservation of proposed schemes.
