The authors show that the presented method improves the accuracy of the split-step finite difference method by introducing a compact scheme for discretization of the space variable while this improvement does not reduce the stability range and does not increase the computational cost. This method also preserves some conservation laws. Numerical tests are presented to confirm the theoretical results for the new numerical method by using the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with constant and variable coefficients and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
