Energy-Preserving AVF Methods for Riesz Space-Fractional Nonlinear KGZ and KGS Equations

Abstract

The Riesz space-fractional derivative is discretized by the Fourier pseudo-spectral (FPS) method. The Riesz space-fractional nonlinear Klein–Gordon–Zakharov (KGZ) and Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger (KGS) equations are transformed into two infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, which are discretized by the FPS method. Two finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems are thus obtained and solved by the second-order average vector field (AVF) method. The energy conservation property of these new discrete schemes of the fractional KGZ and KGS equations is proven. These schemes are applied to simulate the evolution of two fractional differential equations. Numerical results show that these schemes can simulate the evolution of these fractional differential equations well and maintain the energy-preserving property.
