文摘

In this paper, we apply the Schwarz waveform relaxation (SWR) method to the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a general linear or a nonlinear potential. We propose a new algorithm for the Schrödinger equation with time-independent linear potential, which is robust and scalable up to 500 subdomains. It reduces significantly computation time compared with the classical algorithms. Concerning the case of time-dependent linear potential or the nonlinear potential, we use a preprocessed linear operator for the zero potential case as a preconditioner which leads to a preconditioned algorithm. This ensures high scalability. In addition, some newly constructed absorbing boundary conditions are used as the transmission conditions and compared numerically.
