In this paper, we analyse a new exponential-type integrator for the nonlinear cubic Schrodinger equation on the $d$ dimensional torus $mathbb T^d$. The scheme has recently also been derived in a wider context of decorated trees in [Y. Bruned and K. Schratz, arXiv:2005.01649]. It is explicit and efficient to implement. Here, we present an alternative derivation, and we give a rigorous error analysis. In particular, we prove second-order convergence in $H^gamma(mathbb T^d)$ for initial data in $H^{gamma+2}(mathbb T^d)$ for any $gamma > d/2$. This improves the previous work in [Knoller, A. Ostermann, and K. Schratz, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 57 (2019), 1967-1986]. The design of the scheme is based on a new method to approximate the nonlinear frequency interaction. This allows us to deal with the complex resonance structure in arbitrary dimensions. Numerical experiments that are in line with the theoretical result complement this work.
For the solution of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation in one space dimension, we propose and analyse a fully discrete low-regularity integrator. The scheme is explicit and can easily be implemented using the fast Fourier transform with a complexity of $mathcal{O}(Nlog N)$ operations per time step, where $N$ denotes the degrees of freedom in the spatial discretisation. We prove that the new scheme provides an $mathcal{O}(tau^{frac32gamma-frac12-varepsilon}+N^{-gamma})$ error bound in $L^2$ for any initial data belonging to $H^gamma$, $frac12<gammaleq 1$, where $tau$ denotes the temporal step size. Numerical examples illustrate this convergence behavior.
A novel class of high-order linearly implicit energy-preserving exponential integrators are proposed for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We firstly done that the original equation is reformulated into a new form with a modified quadratic energy by the scalar auxiliary variable approach. The spatial derivatives of the system are then approximated with the standard Fourier pseudo-spectral method. Subsequently, we apply the extrapolation technique to the nonlinear term of the semi-discretized system and a linearized system is obtained. Based on the Lawson transformation, the linearized system is rewritten as an equivalent one and we further apply the symplectic Runge-Kutta method to the resulting system to gain a fully discrete scheme. We show that the proposed scheme can produce numerical solutions along which the modified energy is precisely conserved, as is the case with the analytical solution and is extremely efficient in the sense that only linear equations with constant coefficients need to be solved at every time step. Numerical results are addressed to demonstrate the remarkable superiority of the proposed schemes in comparison with other high-order structure-preserving method.
Recent theoretical and experimental advances show that the inertia of magnetization emerges at sub-picoseconds and contributes to the ultrafast magnetization dynamics which cannot be captured intrinsically by the LLG equation. Therefore, as a generalization, the inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (iLLG) equation is proposed to model the ultrafast magnetization dynamics. Mathematically, the LLG equation is a nonlinear system of parabolic type with (possible) degeneracy. However, the iLLG equation is a nonlinear system of mixed hyperbolic-parabolic type with degeneracy, and exhibits more complicated structures. It behaves like a hyperbolic system at the sub-picosecond scale while behaves like a parabolic system at larger timescales. Such hybrid behaviors impose additional difficulties on designing numerical methods for the iLLG equation. In this work, we propose a second-order semi-implicit scheme to solve the iLLG equation. The second temporal derivative of magnetization is approximated by the standard centered difference scheme and the first derivative is approximated by the midpoint scheme involving three time steps. The nonlinear terms are treated semi-implicitly using one-sided interpolation with the second-order accuracy. At each step, the unconditionally unique solvability of the unsymmetric linear system of equations in the proposed method is proved with a detailed discussion on the condition number. Numerically, the second-order accuracy in both time and space is verified. Using the proposed method, the inertial effect of ferromagnetics is observed in micromagnetics simulations at small timescales, in consistency with the hyperbolic property of the model at sub-picoseconds. For long time simulations, the results of the iLLG model are in nice agreements with those of the LLG model, in consistency with the parabolic feature of the iLLG model at larger timescales.
In this paper, a family of arbitrarily high-order structure-preserving exponential Runge-Kutta methods are developed for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation by combining the scalar auxiliary variable approach with the exponential Runge-Kutta method. By introducing an auxiliary variable, we first transform the original model into an equivalent system which admits both mass and modified energy conservation laws. Then applying the Lawson method and the symplectic Runge-Kutta method in time, we derive a class of mass- and energy-preserving time-discrete schemes which are arbitrarily high-order in time. Numerical experiments are addressed to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the newly proposed schemes.
Many problems encountered in plasma physics require a description by kinetic equations, which are posed in an up to six-dimensional phase space. A direct discretization of this phase space, often called the Eulerian approach, has many advantages but is extremely expensive from a computational point of view. In the present paper we propose a dynamical low-rank approximation to the Vlasov--Poisson equation, with time integration by a particular splitting method. This approximation is derived by constraining the dynamics to a manifold of low-rank functions via a tangent space projection and by splitting this projection into the subprojections from which it is built. This reduces a time step for the six- (or four-) dimensional Vlasov--Poisson equation to solving two systems of three- (or two-) dimensional advection equations over the time step, once in the position variables and once in the velocity variables, where the size of each system of advection equations is equal to the chosen rank. By a hierarchical dynamical low-rank approximation, a time step for the Vlasov--Poisson equation can be further reduced to a set of six (or four) systems of one-dimensional advection equations, where the size of each system of advection equations is still equal to the rank. The resulting systems of advection equations can then be solved by standard techniques such as semi-Lagrangian or spectral methods. Numerical simulations in two and four dimensions for linear Landau damping, for a two-stream instability and for a plasma echo problem highlight the favorable behavior of this numerical method and show that the proposed algorithm is able to drastically reduce the required computational effort.
