“…It is possible to solve the 2D NLS equation to develop singularities at some finite time [17]. Since searching for the exact solutions of NLS equations can be a hard task, one has to make use of numerical procedures and so, a considerable advance in numerical methods for this type of equations has been attained (e.g., [1], [11], [13], [15], [25], [35]- [38] and [41]). For instance, Xu [37] presented the local discontinuous Galerkin methods for NLS equations, [13,35] studied the NLS equations using split-step method which separated the equation into linear and nonlinear parts.…”
