Convergence analysis of space-time Jacobi spectral collocation method for solving time-fractional Schrödinger equations

摘要

In this paper, the space-time Jacobi spectral collocation method (JSC Method) is used to solve the time-fractional nonlinear Schro¨dinger equations subject to the appropriate initial and boundary conditions. At first, the considered problem is transformed into the associated system of nonlinear Volterra integro partial differential equations (PDEs) with weakly singular kernels by the definition and related properties of fractional derivative and integral operators. Therefore, by collocating the associated system of integro-PDEs in both of the space and time variables together with approximating the existing integral in the equation using the Jacobi-Gauss-Type quadrature formula, then the problem is reduced to a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. We can consider solving the system by some robust iterative solvers. In order to support the convergence of the proposed method, we provided some numerical examples and calculated their L∞ norm and weighted L2 norm at the end of the article.
