Abstract: In this paper we consider a mass- and energy--conserving Crank-Nicolson time discretization for a general class of nonlinear Schr"odinger equations. This scheme, which enjoys popularity in the physics community due to its conservation properties, was already subject to several analytical and numerical studies. However, a proof of optimal Linfty(H1)-error estimates is still open, both in the semi-discrete Hilbert space setting, as well as in fully-discrete finite element settings. This paper aims at closing this gap in the literature. We also suggest a fixed point iteration to solve the arising nonlinear system of equations that makes the method easy to implement and efficient. This is illustrated by numerical experiments.
