Linearly Implicit High-Order Exponential Integrators Conservative Runge–Kutta Schemes for the Fractional Schrödinger Equation

In this paper, a family of high-order linearly implicit exponential integrators conservative schemes is constructed for solving the multi-dimensional nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation. By virtue of the Lawson transformation and the generalized scalar auxiliary variable approach, the equation is first reformulated to an exponential equivalent system with a modified energy. Then, we construct a semi-discrete conservative scheme by using the Fourier pseudo-spectral method to discretize the exponential system in space direction. After that, linearly implicit energy-preserving schemes which have high accuracy are given by applying the Runge–Kutta method to approximate the semi-discrete system in temporal direction and using the extrapolation method to the nonlinear term. As expected, the constructed schemes can preserve the energy exactly and implement efficiently with a large time step. Numerical examples confirm the constructed schemes have high accuracy, energy-preserving, and effectiveness in long-time simulation.
