A uniformly accurate (UA) multiscale time integrator Fourier pseudospectral method for the Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger equations in the nonrelativistic limit regimeA UA method for Klein–Gordon–Schrodinger equation

A multiscale time integrator Fourier pseudospectral (MTI-FP) method is proposed and analyzed for solving the Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger (KGS) equations in the nonrelativistic limit regime with a dimensionless parameter 0<ε≤1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$0<\varepsilon \le 1$$\end{document} which is inversely proportional to the speed of light. In fact, the solution of the KGS equations propagates waves with wavelength at O(ε2)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$O(\varepsilon ^2)$$\end{document} and O(1) in time and space, respectively, when 0<ε≪1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$0<\varepsilon \ll 1$$\end{document}, which brings significantly numerical burden in practical computation. The MTI-FP method is designed by adapting a multiscale decomposition by frequency of the solution at each time step and applying the Fourier pseudospectral discretization and exponential wave integrators for spatial and temporal derivatives, respectively.

Numerical results demonstrate that our error bounds are optimal and sharp. Finally, the MTI-FP method is applied to study numerically convergence rates of the KGS equations to its limiting models in the nonrelativistic limit regime.
