Symplectic structure-preserving integrators for the two-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii equation for BEC

摘要

Symplectic integrators have been developed for solving the two-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii equation. The equation is transformed into a Hamiltonian form with symplectic structure. Then, symplectic integrators, including the midpoint rule, and a splitting symplectic scheme are developed for treating this equation. It is shown that the proposed codes fulfill the discrete charge conservation law. Furthermore, the global error of the numerical solution is theoretically estimated. The theoretical analysis is supported by some numerical simulations.
