A novel kind of efficient symplectic scheme for Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equation (Q1615880)

The authors construct a family of high order compact symplectic schemes for the Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equation. The Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equation cased into a Hamiltonian form. At first, they discretize the Hamiltonian system in space by a high order compact method which has higher convergent rate than general finite difference methods. Then the semi-discretized system is approximated in time by the Euler midpoint scheme which preserves the symplectic structure of the original system. The conserved quantities of the scheme, including symplectic structure conservation law, charge conservation law, and energy conservation law, are discussed. The local truncation error and global error of the numerical solvers are investigated. Finally, some numerical verifications are presented to numerically validate the theoretical analysis. The numerical results are persuasive and illustrate the theoretical analysis.
