Numerical studies on nonlinear Schrödinger equations by spectral collocation method with preconditioning

In this study, we use the spectral collocation method with preconditioning to solve various nonlinear Schrödinger equations. To reduce round-off error in spectral collocation method we use preconditioning. We study the numerical accuracy of the method. The numerical results obtained by this way have been compared with the exact solution to show the efficiency of the method. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
