Abstract

In quantum physics, fractional Schrödinger equation is of particular interest in the research of particles on stochastic fields modeled by the Lévy processes, which was derived by extending the Feynman path integral over the Brownian paths to a path integral over the trajectories of Lévy fights. In this work, a fully discrete finite element method (FEM) is developed for the Riesz space-fractional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations (CNLS), conjectured with a linearized Crank–Nicolson discretization. The error estimate and mass conservative property are discussed. It is showed that the proposed method is decoupled and convergent with optimal orders in L2-sense. Numerical examples are performed to support our theoretical results.
