Mass- and energy-preserving exponential Runge-Kutta methods for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Q2213716)

In this paper, a class of arbitrary high-order high-order structure-preserving exponential Runge-Kutta methods are developed for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation by combining the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach with the Lawson method. The authors show by introducing an auxiliary variable, the original model is transformed into an equivalent system which admits both mass and modified energy conservation laws. Numerical tests are presented to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed schemes. The numerical strategy adopted in this paper can be generalized for general Hamiltonian partial differential equations to develop high-order energy-preserving exponential Runge-Kutta methods including integrating factor (IF) methods and exponential time differencing (ETD) methods, respectively.
