Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the optimal error bounds of two finite difference schemes for solving the d-dimensional (d = 2, 3) nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger (KGS) equations. The proposed finite difference schemes not only conserve the mass and energy in the discrete level but also are efficient in practical computation because only two linear systems need to be solved at each time step. Besides the standard energy method, an induction argument as well as a ‘lifting’ technique are introduced to establish rigorously the optimal H 2-error estimates without any restrictions on the grid ratios, while the previous works either are not rigorous enough or often require certain restriction on the grid ratios. The convergence rates of the proposed schemes are proved to be at O(h 2 + τ 2) with mesh-size h and time step τ in the discrete H 2-norm. The analysis method can be directly extended to other linear finite difference schemes for solving the KGS equations in high dimensions. Numerical results are reported to confirm the theoretical analysis for the proposed finite difference schemes.
