Unconditional convergence of conservative spectral Galerkin methods for the coupled fractional nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations

In this work, two novel classes of structure-preserving spectral Galerkin methods are proposed which based on the Crank-Nicolson scheme and the exponential scalar auxiliary variable method respectively, for solving the coupled fractional nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Schr\"odinger equation. The paper focuses on the theoretical analyses and computational efficiency of the proposed schemes, the Crank-Nicoloson scheme is proved to be unconditionally convergent and has the maximum-norm boundness of numerical solutions. The exponential scalar auxiliary variable scheme is linearly implicit and decoupled, but lack of the maximum-norm boundness, also, the energy structure has been modified. Subsequently, the efficient implementations of the proposed schemes are introduced in detail. Both the theoretical analyses and the numerical comparisons show that the proposed spectral Galerkin methods have high efficiency in long-time computations.
