Optimal Error Estimates of Conservative Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a conservative local discontinuous Galerkin method for one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By using special upwind-biased numerical fluxes, we establish the optimal rate of convergence $\mathcal{O}(h^{k+1})$, with polynomial of degree $k$ and grid size $h$. Meanwhile, we show that this method preserves the charge conservation law and thus we call it a conservative local discontinuous Galerkin method. Numerical experiments verify our theoretical result.
