Efficient linearized local energy-preserving method for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>A linearized implicit local energy-preserving (LEP) scheme is proposed for the KPI equation by discretizing its multi-symplectic Hamiltonian form with the Kahan's method in time and symplectic Euler-box rule in space. It can be implemented easily, and also it is less storage-consuming and more efficient than the fully implicit methods. Several numerical experiments, including simulations of evolution of the line-soliton and lump-type soliton and interaction of the two lumps, are carried out to show the good performance of the scheme.</p>
