In recent years, many discrete variable methods using the exponential operator, called exponential integrator, have been presented, and various computational methods of the matrix exponential are also proposed. Especially the combination of the Padé approximant and the scaling and squaring method is most powerful and widely used. However, the squaring process is susceptible to roundoff errors. We propose a modified squaring process for the scaling and squaring methods. From the numerical results, an accuracy improvement about 1/100 is obtained in the best case.
Various partial differential equations are derived from generalized energy integrals by a variational argument. Then their discrete versions serve us as the important basis to construct convenient energy preserving difference schemes. Numerical simulation is also performed for a nonlinear wave equation obtained as a simple-minded continuum limit of the Toda lattice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
