Wang, Hanquan Numerical studies on the split-step finite difference method for nonlinear Schrödinger equations. (English) Zbl 1082.65570 Appl. Math. Comput. 170, No. 1, 17-35 (2005). Summary: We use the split-step finite difference method to solve various nonlinear Schrödinger equations including coupled ones. We study the numerical accuracy of the method. Detailed numerical results including higher dimensions show that the method provides accurate and stable solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
