Spectral splitting method for nonlinear Schrِdinger equations with singular potential

We consider the time-dependent one-dimensional nonlinear Schrِdinger equation with pointwise singular potential. By means of spectral splitting methods we prove that the evolution operator is approximated by the Lie evolution operator, where the kernel of the Lie evolution operator is explicitly written. This result yields a numerical procedure which is much less computationally expensive than multi-grid methods previously used. Furthermore, we apply the Lie approximation in order to make some numerical experiments concerning the splitting of a soliton, interaction among solitons and blow-up phenomenon.
