The compact implicit integration factor （cIIF） method is an efficient time discretization scheme for stiff nonlinear diffusion equations in two and three spatial dimensions. In the current work, we apply the cIIF method to some complex-valued nonlinear evolutionary equations such as the nonlinear SchrSdinger （NLS） equation and the complex Ginzburg-Landau （GL） equation. Detailed algorithm formulation and practical implementation of cIIF method are performed. The numerical results indicate that this method is very accurate and efficient.

A Multi-Symplectic Compact Method for the Two-Component Camassa-Holm Equation with Singular Solutions

The two-component Camassa–Holm equation includes many intriguing phenomena. We propose a multi-symplectic compact method to solve the two-component Camassa–Holm equation. Based on its multi-symplectic formulation, the proposed method is derived by the sixth-order compact finite difference method in spatial discretization and the symplectic implicit midpoint scheme in temporal discretization. Numerical experiments finely describe the velocity and density variables in the two-component integrable system and distinctly display the evolvement of the singular solutions. Moreover, the proposed method shows good conservative properties during long-time numerical simulation.

UNIFORM ERROR BOUNDS OF A CONSERVATIVE COMPACT FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR THE QUANTUM ZAKHAROV SYSTEM IN THE SUBSONIC LIMIT REGIME

In this paper,we consider a uniformly accurate compact finite difference method to solve the quantum Zakharov system(QZS)with a dimensionless parameter 0<ε≤1,which is inversely proportional to the acoustic speed.In the subsonic limit regime,i.e.,when 0<ε?1,the solution of QZS propagates rapidly oscillatory initial layers in time,and this brings significant difficulties in devising numerical algorithm and establishing their error estimates,especially as 0<ε?1.The solvability,the mass and energy conservation laws of the scheme are also discussed.Based on the cut-off technique and energy method,we rigorously analyze two independent error estimates for the well-prepared and ill-prepared initial data,respectively,which are uniform in both time and space forε∈(0,1]and optimal at the fourth order in space.Numerical results are reported to verify the error behavior.

A robust compact least-squares reconstruction method for compressible turbulent flow simulations of complex configurations

For the second-order finite volume method,implicit schemes and reconstruction methods are two main algorithms which influence the robustness and efficiency of the numerical simulations of compressible turbulent flows.In this paper,a compact least-squares reconstruction method is proposed to calculate the gradients for the distribution of flow field variables approximation.The compactness of the new reconstruction method is reflected in the gradient calculation process.The geometries of the face-neighboring elements are no longer utilized,and the weighted average values at the centroid of the interfaces are used to calculate the gradients instead of the values at the centroid of the face-neighboring elements.Meanwhile,an exact Jacobian solving strategy is developed for implicit temporal discretization.The accurate processing of Jacobian matrix can extensively improve the invertibility of the Jacobian matrix and avoid introducing extra numerical errors.In addition,a modified Venkatakrishnan limiter is applied to deal with the shock which may appear in transonic flows and the applicability of the mentioned methods is enhanced further.The combination of the proposed methods makes the numerical simulations of turbulent flow converge rapidly and steadily with an adaptive increasing CFL number.The numerical results of several benchmarks indicate that the proposed methods perform well in terms of robustness,efficiency and accuracy,and have good application potential in turbulent flow simulations of complex configurations.

An exponential expanding meshes sequence and finite difference method adopted for two-dimensional elliptic equations

We demonstrate a new nonuniform mesh finite difference method to obtain accurate solutions for the elliptic partial differential equations in two dimensions with nonlinear first-order partial derivative terms.The method will be based on a geometric grid network area and included among the most stable differencing scheme in which the nine-point spatial finite differences are implemented,thus arriving at a compact formulation.In general,a third order of accuracy has been achieved and a fourth-order truncation error in the solution values will follow as a particular case.The efficiency of using geometric mesh ratio parameter has been shown with the help of illustrations.The convergence of the scheme has been established using the matrix analysis,and irreducibility is proved with the help of strongly connected characteristics of the iteration matrix.The difference scheme has been applied to test convection diffusion equation,steady state Burger’s equation,ocean model and a semi-linear elliptic equation.The computational results confirm the theoretical order and accuracy of the method.

A HIGH-ORDER FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR UNSTEADY CONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEMS WITH SOURCE TERM

The convection and diffusion are the basic processes in fluid flow and heat& mass transfer. The upwind and evolution functions for the convection term are introduced to give a comprehensive transformation to one-dimensional unsteady convection-diffusion equation involving source term. The corresponding compact fourth-order finite difference methed is developed. With the trans formation, the authors overcome the difficultyin dealing with the convection term, and the high-order expression for the convection-diffusion term can be conveniently obtained. The proposed difference scheme with thefourth-order accuracy and unconditional stability can fully reflect the upwind and evolutioneffects of the convection. The calculated results show that the errors of the referencescheme are 600 or 6000 times those of the proposed scheme for the same computationalgrid. With the one time decrease of the space grid, the errors of the proposed scheme andthe reference scheme reduce about 20 times and 2 times respectively. It is evident that theaccuracy of the proposed scheme is remarkably higher than that of the reference scheme.

A conservative numerical method for the fractional nonlinear Schrodinger equation in two dimensions

This paper proposes and analyzes an efficient finite difference scheme for the two-dimensional nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS) equation involving fractional Laplacian. The scheme is based on a weighted and shifted Grünwald-Letnikov difference(WSGD) operator for the spatial fractional Laplacian. We prove that the proposed method preserves the mass and energy conservation laws in semi-discrete formulations. By introducing the differentiation matrices, the semi-discrete fractional nonlinear Schr?dinger(FNLS) equation can be rewritten as a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations(ODEs) in matrix formulations. Two kinds of time discretization methods are proposed for the semi-discrete formulation. One is based on the Crank-Nicolson(CN) method which can be proved to preserve the fully discrete mass and energy conservation. The other one is the compact implicit integration factor(c IIF) method which demands much less computational effort. It can be shown that the cIIF scheme can approximate CN scheme with the error O(τ~2). Finally numerical results are presented to demonstrate the method’s conservation, accuracy, efficiency and the capability of capturing blow-up.

HIGH ORDER COMPACT MULTISYMPLECTIC SCHEME FOR COUPLED NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER-KDV EQUATIONS

In this paper, a novel multisymplectic scheme is proposed for the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger-KdV （CNLS-KdV） equations. The CNLS-KdV equations are rewritten into the multisymplectic Hamiltonian form by introducing some canonical momenta. To simulate the problem efficiently, the CNLS-KdV equations are approximated by a high order compact method in space which preserves N semi-discrete multisymplectic conservation laws. We then discretize the semi-discrete system by using a symplectic midpoint scheme in time. Thus, a full-discrete multisymplectic scheme is obtained for the CNLS-KdV equations. The conservation laws of the full-discrete scheme are analyzed. Some numerical experiments are presented to further verify the convergence and conservation laws of the new scheme.

Optimal Error Estimates of Compact Finite Difference Discretizations for the Schrodinger-Poisson System

We study compact finite difference methods for the Schrodinger-Poisson equation in a bounded domain and establish their optimal error estimates under proper regularity assumptions on wave functionψand external potential V(x).The CrankNicolson compact finite difference method and the semi-implicit compact finite difference method are both of order O(h^(4)+τ^(2))in discrete l^(2),H^(1) and l^(∞) norms with mesh size h and time step τ.For the errors of compact finite difference approximation to the second derivative and Poisson potential are nonlocal,thus besides the standard energy method and mathematical induction method,the key technique in analysis is to estimate the nonlocal approximation errors in discrete l^(∞) and H^(1) norm by discrete maximum principle of elliptic equation and properties of some related matrix.Also some useful inequalities are established in this paper.Finally,extensive numerical results are reported to support our error estimates of the numerical methods.

A COMPACT FOURTH-ORDER FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR THE IMPROVED BOUSSINESQ EQUATION WITH DAMPING TERMS

In this paper, a compact finite difference method is presented for solving the initial boundary value problems for the improved Boussinesq equation with damping terms. The fourth-order equation can be transformed into a first-order ordinary differential system, and then, the classical Pad4 approximation is used to discretize spatial derivative in the non- linear partial differential equations. The resulting coefficient matrix for the semi-discrete scheme is tri-diagonal and can be solved efficiently. In order to maintain the same order of convergence, the classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is the preferred method for explicit time integration. Soliton-type solutions are used to evaluate the accuracy of the method, and various numerical experiments are designed to test the different effects of the damping terms.
