    We investigate the Lie and the Strang splitting for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the full space and on the torus in up to three spatial dimensions. We prove that the Strang splitting converges in L2 with order 1 + for initial values in H2+2 with 2 (0; 1) and that the Lie splitting converges with order one for initial values in H2

    This article is devoted to the construction of new numerical methods for the semiclassical Schrödinger equation. A phase-amplitude reformulation of the equation is described where the Planck constant epsilon is not a singular parameter. This allows to build splitting schemes whose accuracy is spectral in space, of up to fourth order in time, and independent of epsilon before the caustics. The second-order method additionally preserves the L^2-norm of the solution just as the exact flow does. In this first part of the paper, we introduce the basic splitting scheme in the nonlinear case, reveal our strategy for constructing higher-order methods, and illustrate their properties with simulations. In the second part, we shall prove a uniform convergence result for the first-order splitting scheme applied to the linear Schrödinger equation with a potential

    Uniformly accurate time-splitting methods for the semiclassical linear Schr{\"o}dinger equation

    This article is devoted to the construction of numerical methods which remain insensitive to the smallness of the semiclassical parameter for the linear Schr{\"o}dinger equation in the semiclassical limit. We specifically analyse the convergence behavior of the first-order splitting. Our main result is a proof of uniform accuracy. We illustrate the properties of our methods with simulations
