Solving coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations via a direct discontinuous Galerkin method

In this work,we present the direct discontinuous Galerkin(DDG) method for the one-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrdinger(CNLS) equation.We prove that the new discontinuous Galerkin method preserves the discrete mass conservations corresponding to the properties of the CNLS system.The ordinary differential equations obtained by the DDG space discretization is solved via a third-order stabilized Runge-Kutta method.Numerical experiments show that the new DDG scheme gives stable and less diffusive results and has excellent long-time numerical behaviors for the CNLS equations.
