Semi-implicit operator splitting Pade method for higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equations

摘要

We propose a semi-implicit finite difference operator splitting Pade (OSPD) method for solving the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation which describes the optical soliton wave propagation in fibers. The method achieves fourth order of accuracy in space and has been proven to be stable by linear stability analysis. Numerical experiments and comparisons are investigated to show the advantages and effectivity of the OSPD method. And some interesting collision behaviors are also observed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
