Analysis of split exponential integrators for semilinear problems with noncommuting operators
Abstract
Splitting the exponential and exponential-like functions can significantly reduce the overall computational cost of exponential integrators, providing a strong motivation for their rigorous analysis. In this paper, we analyze splitting errors for two noncommuting unbounded operators and derive new representations that include the popular Lie--Trotter and Strang cases. Moreover, within the abstract framework of strongly continuous semigroups, we prove the convergence of a split version of the exponential Euler method and a second-order exponential Runge--Kutta method for semilinear problems. Numerical experiments on a nonlinear dispersive equation and a diffusion--reaction equation demonstrate the theoretical findings, stability properties, and efficiency of the proposed split exponential integrators compared to the state of the art.
