Abstract

In this paper, we present three new schemes for the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The three new schemes are multi-symplectic schemes that preserve the intrinsic geometry property of the equation. The three new schemes are also semi-explicit in the sense that they need not solve linear algebraic equations every time-step, which is usually the most expensive in numerical simulation of partial differential equations. Many numerical experiments on collisions of solitons are presented to show the efficiency of the new multi-symplectic schemes.
