On convergence of difference schemes for nonlinear Schrödinger equations, the Kuramoto-Tsuzuki equation, and reaction-diffusion type systems (Q1897896)

The convergence and stability of difference schemes for solving the second boundary value problem for nonlinear Schrödinger equations, the Kuramoto-Tsuzuki equation and reaction-diffusion type systems in multidimensional case are studied. All the problems are considered in a unified point of view of investigating the problem, including the problems just mentioned as partial cases. An implicit Crank-Nicolson type weighted scheme is applied. As a result the convergence of difference methods in \(W^s_2\) and \(C^s\) and their stability in \(L_2\) are proved. No restriction on the ratio of the grid steps is assumed. A grid analogue of a multiplicative estimate of the modulus of a function from \(W^l_p\) ise proved in Section 2. An \(n\)-dimensional ball and a rectangular parallelepiped are the simplest domains in which the estimate is satisfied. The relation between Sobolev and uniform norms of the initial problem solution is obtained in Section 3. A grid analogue is proved for the difference scheme. Section 4 is devoted to convergence and stability.
