Abstract

In this paper, we derive the multisymplectic structure of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation directly from the variational principle and show the connection between the relative theories of Bridges-Reich's and Marsdon-Partrick-Shkoller's. In the numerical aspect, we construct a series of multisymplectic schemes for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. Among these schemes, some are the classical, such as the five points scheme and the Preissman box scheme, some are new which we never encountered in the literature. Some numerical results are also reported to show the effectiveness of the schemes.
