Exercises to the lecture Aspects of Numerical Time Integration
The exercises will take place in room 3.069 in the Kollegiengebäude Mathematik 20.30 tuesday 15:45. First exercise on the 14.4.2015.
Important Note: Please install MATLAB on your Laptop and bring it with you to the Exercise if possible
In the exercises to the lecture Aspects of Numerical Time Integration our aim is to learn how to implement efficient integrators for certain partial differential equations such as the (nonlinear) Schrödinger equation.
- At first we want to recap how to implement simple time integrators in MATLAB, such as the explicit and implicit Euler method, for ordinary differential equations (ODE) of the form
.
- Afterwards we practice the application of splitting methods for ODES
- Furthermore we learn how to implement pseudo-spectral methods, which make use of the Fast Fourier Transform to discretize spatial differential operators such as the laplacian
.
- Our aim is then to construct efficient integrators for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation which are based on pseudo-spectral methods for the space approximation and splitting methods for the time-integration

Exercises to the lecture Splitting Methods
The exercises will take place in room 1C-03 in building Allianzgebäude 5.20 wednesday 15:45. First exercise on the 22.10.2014.
Important Note: Please install MATLAB on your Laptop and bring it with you to the problem class if possible
In the exercises to the lecture Splitting Methods we want to learn how to use splitting methods as efficient numerical time integrators. The aim of splitting methods is to brake down a complicated, costly problem into simpler subproblems which very often can be solved very efficiently.
For example solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
(NLS)
with a Runge-Kutta method is very costly.
On the other hand, breaking down the NLS into the two subproblems
(S1) and (S2)
allows to construct an efficient time integrator:
We can solve the subproblems (S1) and (S2) even exactly in time and combine their solutions in order to obtain an approximation to .
In the problem class
- we will firstly have a short introduction to the numerical software MATLAB, which we will use for the practical handling of numerical time integration methods for ODEs and later on also for PDEs.
- we will also deepen the theoretical understanding of splitting methods and their applications
- of course if there are questions concerning the lecture we try to resolve these questions together.
