SAV Galerkin-Legendre spectral method for the nonlinear Schrödinger-Possion equations

In this paper, a fully discrete scheme is proposed to solve the nonlinear Schrödinger-Possion equations. The scheme is developed by the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach, the Crank-Nicolson temproal discretization and the Galerkin-Legendre spectral spatial discretization. The fully discrete scheme is proved to be mass- and energy- conserved. Moreover, unconditional energy stability and convergence of the scheme are obtained by the use of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg and some Sobolev inequalities. Numerical results are presented to confirm our theoretical findings.
