A linearized and conservative Fourier pseudo-spectral method for the damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three dimensions

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a linearized Fourier pseudo-spectral method, which preserves the total mass and energy conservation laws, for the damped nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in three dimensions. With the aid of the semi-norm equivalence between the Fourier pseudo-spectral method and the finite difference method, an optimal $L^2$-error estimate for the proposed method without any restriction on the grid ratio is established by analyzing the real and imaginary parts of the error function. Numerical results are addressed to confirm our theoretical analysis.
