Conservative difference methods for the Klein–Gordon–Zakharov equations

摘要

Firstly an implicit conservative finite difference scheme is presented for the initial-boundary problem of the one space dimensional Klein–Gordon–Zakharov (KGZ) equations. The existence of the difference solution is proved by Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem. It is proved by the discrete energy method that the scheme is uniquely solvable, unconditionally stable and second order convergent for U in l∞ norm, and for N in l2 norm on the basis of the priori estimates. Then an explicit difference scheme is proposed for the KGZ equations, on the basis of priori estimates and two important inequalities about norms, convergence of the difference solutions is proved. Because it is explicit and not coupled it can be computed by a parallel method. Numerical experiments with the two schemes are done for several test cases. Computational results demonstrate that the two schemes are accurate and efficient.
