The paper presents a temporal second-order energy stable scheme for the space fractional Cahn-Hilliard model, demonstrating energy stability and convergence through numerical optimization and a preconditioning technique. The scheme's coefficient matrix, with a Toeplitz-like structure, is efficiently solved using a Krylov sub-space method, as shown in numerical examples for system efficiency.
The space fractional Cahn-Hilliard phase-field model is more adequate and accurate in the description of the formation and phase change mechanism than the classical Cahn-Hilliard model. In this article, we propose a temporal second-order energy stable scheme for the space fractional Calm-Hilliard model. The scheme is based on the second-order backward differentiation formula in time and a finite difference method in space. Energy stability and convergence of the scheme are analyzed, and the optimal convergence orders in time and space are illustrated numerically. Note that the coefficient matrix of the scheme is a 2 x 2 block matrix with a Toeplitz-like structure in each block. Combining the advantages of this special structure with a Krylov sub-space method, a preconditioning technique is designed to solve the system efficiently. Numerical examples are reported to illustrate the performance of the preconditioned iteration.

Error estimates of a Fourier integrator for the cubic Schrodinger equation at low regularity

Alexander Ostermann, Frederic Rousset, Katharina Schratz

Summary: This study introduces a new filtered low-regularity Fourier integrator for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which achieves better convergence rates at low regularity. By combining the better local error properties of the new scheme with a stability analysis based on general discrete Strichartz-type estimates, it can handle a much rougher class of solutions.

A pseudo-spectral splitting method for linear dispersive problems with transparent boundary conditions

Lukas Einkemmer, Alexander Ostermann, Mirko Residori

Summary: The goal of this work is to solve a linear dispersive equation with variable coefficient advection on an unbounded domain. By discretizing space using a spectral method, the number of grid points required for accuracy is drastically reduced. By performing an operator splitting scheme and treating the dispersive part implicitly, an efficient numerical scheme is achieved despite the challenge of non-homogeneous transparent boundary conditions.

An accurate and time-parallel rational exponential integrator for hyperbolic and oscillatory PDEs

Marco Caliari, Lukas Einkemmer, Alexander Moriggl, Alexander Ostermann

Summary: Rational Exponential Integrators (REXI) are numerical methods suitable for time integration of linear partial differential equations with imaginary eigenvalues. A novel REXI scheme proposed in this paper drastically improves accuracy and efficiency, along with the ability to easily determine the required number of terms for accurate results. Comparative numerical simulations for a shallow water equation show the efficiency of the approach, indicating that REXI schemes can be efficiently implemented on graphic processing units.

ERROR ESTIMATES AT LOW REGULARITY OF SPLITTING SCHEMES FOR NLS

Alexander Ostermann, Frederic Rousset, Katharina Schratz

Summary: We study a filtered Lie splitting scheme for the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation and establish error estimates at low regularity by using discrete Bourgain spaces. This allows us to handle data in H-s with 0 < s < 1, overcoming the standard stability restriction to smooth Sobolev spaces with index s > 1/2. More precisely, we prove convergence rates of order tau(s/2) in L-2 at this level of regularity.

A Fully Discrete Low-Regularity Integrator for the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

Alexander Ostermann, Fangyan Yao

Summary: In this paper, we propose and analyze a fully discrete low-regularity integrator for the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation on the torus. The scheme is explicit and implemented using the fast Fourier transform with a complexity of O(N log N) operations per time step. Numerical examples demonstrate the convergence behavior of the proposed scheme.

A pseudo-spectral Strang splitting method for linear dispersive problems with transparent boundary conditions

L. Einkemmer, A. Ostermann, M. Residori

Summary: The present work introduces a second-order time splitting scheme for a linear dispersive equation with a variable advection coefficient, using a dual Petrov-Galerkin method for spatial discretization. A modified Strang splitting scheme is proposed to overcome order reduction caused by an inflow boundary condition, maintaining second-order accuracy. Stability analysis of this numerical scheme confirms the theoretical derivations.

Exponential Integrators for Second-Order in Time Partial Differential Equations

Duy Phan, Alexander Ostermann

Summary: This paper considers two types of second-order in time partial differential equations, namely semilinear wave equations and semilinear beam equations. To solve these equations with exponential integrators, an approach to efficiently compute the action of the matrix exponential and related matrix functions is presented. Various numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.
