Local spectral time splitting method for first- and second-order partial differential equations (Q556317)

The paper deals with a solution of a class of partial differential equations (PDEs) with the aid of local spectral evolution kernels (LSEK) which allow to solve the mentioned PDEs with \(x\)-independent coefficients in a single step. They are utilized in an operator splitting scheme to arrive at a local spectral time-splitting (LSTS) method. The authors derive the LSEKs and review the time splitting schemes. Accuracy, stability, efficiency and parameter dependence of LSTS is investigated. Then LSTS is applied to Fisher's equation, the Schrödinger equation and the Gross-Pitaevskii equations for Bose-Einstein condensation, and the numerical results are compared with reference ones.
