✦ Synopsis
In this article, a finite difference scheme for coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations is studied. The existence of the difference solution is proved by Brouwer fixed point theorem. With the aid of the fact that the difference solution satisfies two conservation laws, the finite difference solution is proved to be bounded in the discrete L ∞ norm. Then, the difference solution is shown to be unique and second order convergent in the discrete L ∞ norm. Finally, a convergent iterative algorithm is presented.

The coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation models several intersting physical phenomena. It presents a model equation for optical fiber with linear birefringence. In this paper, we present a linearly implicit conservative method to solve this equation. This method is second order accurate in space a
In general, proofs of convergence and stability are difficult for symplectic schemes of nonlinear equations. In this paper, a symplectic difference scheme is proposed for an initialboundary value problem of a coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system. An important lemma and an induction argument are used
Based on two types of expanding Lie algebras of a Lie algebra G, three isospectral problems are designed. Under the framework of zero curvature equation, three nonlinear integrable couplings of the nonlinear Schröding equations are generated. With the help of variational identity, we get the Hamilto
