Abstract

A technique is provided in this paper to integrate nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions with high-order Yoshida splittings which are based on Strang method. For that, a modification of Strang method is required in which the linear and stiff part of the equation is integrated with a rational-like version of midpoint rule for which the required boundary values can be calculated without resorting to any differentiation of data. Although Yoshida splitting (with real coefficients) cannot be applied to parabolic problems to obtain order higher than two because of stability, the modified Strang method is also applicable to such type of problems and local order 33 and global order 22 are also obtained without differentiation of data.
