Abstract: We present a regularized finite difference method for the logarithmic Schr"odinger equation (LogSE) and establish its error bound. Due to the blow-up of the logarithmic nonlinearity, i.e. $lnhoo-infty$ when $hoightarrow{0}^{+}$ with $ho=|u{|}^2$ being the density and $u$ being the complex-valued wave function or order parameter, there are significant difficulties in designing numerical methods and establishing their error bounds for the LogSE. In order to suppress the round-off error and to avoid blow-up, a regularized logarithmic Schr"odinger equation (RLogSE) is proposed with a small regularization parameter $0<varepsilonll1$ and linear convergence is established between the solutions of RLogSE and LogSE in term of $varepsilon$. Then a semi-implicit finite difference method is presented for discretizing the RLogSE and error estimates are established in terms of the mesh size $h$ and time step $au$ as well as the small regularization parameter $varepsilon$. Finally numerical results are reported to confirm our error bounds.
