Numerical analysis of a space-time finite volume element method for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
In this paper, for the first time, we propose a space-time finite volume element (STFVE) method for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. In contrast to the space-time finite element (STFE) method, this method not only is easy to achieve high accuracy in both space and time directions, but also the method itself can maintain the conservation laws of physical quantities, and thus it is well suited to solve the conservation laws equations. For the constructed STFVE scheme, the rigorous theoretical analyses are given including the proof of the existence of the resulting approximations and the optimal and norms estimates are obtained in the case that the spatial mesh parameter is not related to the time step size. Finally, some numerical tests are shown to confirm the theoretical findings, unconditional stability and the conservation properties of the STFVE method. Also, the numerical tests show that the STFVE method simulates the NLS equation well.
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.
