Abstract

In this article, we present the mathematical analysis of the convergence of the linearized Crank-Nicolson Galerkin method for a nonlinear Schrodinger problem related to a domain with a moving boundary. The convergence analysis of the numerical method is carried out for both semi-discrete and fully discrete problems. An optimal error estimate in the L2L^2-norm with order O(τ2+hs), 2sr{O}(\tau^2+ h^s),~ 2\leq s\leq r, where hh is the finite element mesh size parameter, τ\tau is the time step, and r1r-1 represents the degree of the finite element polynomial basis. Numerical simulations are provided to confirm the consistency between theoretical and numerical results, validating the method and the order of convergence for different degrees p1p\geq 1 of the Lagrange polynomials and also for Hermite polynomials (degree p=3p=3), which form the basis of the approximate solution.
