A local energy-preserving scheme for Klein-Gordon-Schrodinger equations

A local energy conservation law is proposed for the Klein--Gordon-Schrrdinger equations, which is held in any local time-space region. The local property is independent of the boundary condition and more essential than the global energy conservation law. To develop a numerical method preserving the intrinsic properties as much as possible, we propose a local energy-preserving （LEP） scheme for the equations. The merit of the proposed scheme is that the local energy conservation law can hold exactly in any time-space region. With the periodic boundary conditions, the scheme also possesses the discrete change and global energy conservation laws. A nonlinear analysis shows that the LEP scheme converges to the exact solutions with order O（τ2 ＋ h2）. The theoretical properties are verified by numerical experiments.
