Exponentially fitted methods that preserve conservation laws
share
The exponential fitting technique uses information on the expected behaviour of the solution of a differential problem to define accurate and efficient numerical methods. In particular, exponentially fitted methods are very effective when applied to problems with oscillatory solutions. In this cases, compared to standard methods, they have proved to be very accurate even using large integration steps. In this paper we consider exponentially fitted Runge-Kutta methods and we give characterizations of those that preserve local conservation laws of linear and quadratic quantities. As benchmark problems we consider wave equations arising as models in several fields such as fluid dynamics and quantum physics, and derive exponentially fitted methods that preserve their conservation laws of mass (or charge) and momentum. The proposed methods are applied to approximate breather wave solutions and are compared to other known methods of the same order.
