An exact local error representation of exponential operator splitting methods for evolutionary problems and applications to linear Schrödinger equations in the semi-classical regime.

Résumé

In this paper, we are concerned with the derivation of a local error representation for exponential operator splitting methods when applied to evolutionary problems that involve critical parameters. Employing an abstract formulation of differential equations on function spaces, our framework includes Schrödinger equations in the semi-classical regime as well as parabolic initial-boundary value problems with high spatial gradients. We illustrate the general mechanism on the basis of the first-order Lie splitting and the second-order Strang splitting method. Further, we specify the local error representation for a fourth-order splitting scheme by Yoshida. From the given error estimate it is concluded that higher-order exponential operator splitting methods are favourable for the time-integration of linear Schrödinger equations in the semi-classical regime with critical parameter, provided that the time stepsize h is sufficiently small.
