On fully discrete Galerkin methods of second-order temporal accuracy for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. (English) Zbl 0739.65096
For approximating the solution of a weakly nonlinear Schrödinger equation ${L}^{2}$ conservative schemes are studied. The schemes are based on a space-discretization by the Galerkin method (in ${H}_{0}^{1}$). For the time-discretization two Crank-Nicolson type methods are used. Existence, uniqueness and convergence of the approximate solution to the exact one are proved. Existence, uniqueness and convergence of the approximate solution to the exact one are proved. The Newton method of “inner” iterations for solving the system of complex nonlinear equations is discussed. Numerical results are given.
