Abstract

In this paper, we study linearized Crank–Nicolson Galerkin FEMs for a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We present the optimal \(L^2\) error estimate without any time-step restrictions, while previous works always require certain conditions on time stepsize. A key to our analysis is an error splitting, in terms of the corresponding time-discrete system, with which the error is split into two parts, the temporal error and the spatial error. Since the spatial error is \(\tau \)-independent, the numerical solution can be bounded in \(L^{\infty }\)-norm by an inverse inequality unconditionally. Then, the optimal \(L^2\) error estimate can be obtained by a routine method. To confirm our theoretical analysis, numerical results in both two and three dimensional spaces are presented.
