Strang Splitting for the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation on Sparse Grids

نویسنده

  • Vasile Gradinaru
چکیده

The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is discretized in space by a sparse grid pseudo-spectral method. The Strang splitting for the resulting evolutionary problem features first or second order convergence in time, depending on the smoothness of the potential and of the initial data. In contrast to the full grid case, where the frequency domain is the working place, the proof of the sufficient conditions for the convergence is done in the space realm.

Improved error estimates for splitting methods applied to highly-oscillatory nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this work, the error behavior of operator splitting methods is analyzed for highly-oscillatory differential equations. The scope of applications includes time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equations, where the evolution operator associated with the principal linear part is highly-oscillatory and periodic in time. In a first step, a known convergence result for the second-order Strang split...

Strang Splitting Methods for a Quasilinear Schrödinger Equation - Convergence, Instability and Dynamics

We study the Strang splitting scheme for quasilinear Schrödinger equations. We establish the convergence of the scheme for solutions with small initial data. We analyze the linear instability of the numerical scheme, which explains the numerical blow-up of large data solutions and connects to analytical breakdown of regularity of solutions to quasilinear Schrödinger equations. Numerical tests a...

Strang Splitting Methods Applied to a Quasilinear Schrödinger Equation - Convergence and Dynamics

We study numerically a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations using the Strang splitting method. For these particular models, we can prove convergence of our approximation by adapting the work of Lubich [30] for a Lie theoretic approach to the continuous time approximation and Sobolev-based well-posedness results of the second author with J. Metcalfe and D. Tataru in order to model small in...

Analysis of the "Toolkit" Method for the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation

The goal of this paper is to provide an analysis of the “toolkit” method used in the numerical approximation of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The “toolkit” method is based on precomputation of elementary propagators and was seen to be very efficient in the optimal control framework. Our analysis shows that this method provides better results than the second order Strang operator spli...

Defect-based local error estimators for splitting methods, with application to Schrödinger equations, Part I: The linear case

We introduce a defect correction principle for exponential operator splitting methods applied to time-dependent linear Schrödinger equations and construct a posteriori local error estimators for the Lie–Trotter and Strang splitting methods. Under natural commutator bounds on the involved operators we prove asymptotical correctness of the local error estimators, and along the way recover the kno...
