In this paper, a class of nonlinear Riesz space-fractional Schrödinger equations are considered. Based on the standard Galerkin finite element method in space and Crank-Nicolson difference method in time, the semi-discrete and fully discrete systems are constructed. By Brouwer fixed point theorem and fractional Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, we prove the fully discrete system is uniquely solvable. Moreover, we focus on a rigorous analysis and consideration of the conservation and convergence properties for the semi-discrete and fully discrete systems. Finally, a linearized iterative finite element algorithm is introduced and some numerical examples are given to confirm the theoretical results.
This paper proposes and analyzes an efficient difference scheme for the nonlinear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation involving fractional Laplacian. The scheme is based on the implicit midpoint rule for the temporal discretization and a weighted and shifted Grünwald difference operator for the spatial fractional Laplacian. By virtue of a careful analysis of the difference operator, some useful inequalities with respect to suitable fractional Sobolev norms are established. Then the numerical solution is shown to be bounded, and convergent in the l 2 h norm with the optimal order O(τ 2 + h 2 ) with time step τ and mesh size h. The a priori bound as well as the convergence order hold unconditionally, in the sense that no restriction on the time step τ in terms of the mesh size h needs to be assumed. Numerical tests are performed to validate the theoretical results and effectiveness of the scheme.
