Linearly implicit energy-preserving integrating factor methods for the 2D nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator and convergence analysis (2209.07710v2)

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel class of linear energy-preserving integrating factor methods for the 2D nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with wave operator (NLSW), combining the scalar auxiliary variable approach and the integrating factor methods. A second-order scheme is first proposed, which is rigorously proved to be energy-preserving. By using the energy methods, we analyze its optimal convergence in the $H^1$ norm without any restrictions on the grid ratio, where a novel technique and an improved induction argument are proposed to overcome the difficulty posed by the unavailability of a priori $L^\infty$ estimates of numerical solutions. Based on the integrating factor Runge-Kutta methods, we extend the proposed scheme to arbitrarily high order, which is also linear and conservative. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis and demonstrate the advantages of the proposed methods.
