Description
Summary:A numerical scheme for nonlinear hyperbolic evolution equations is made based on the implicit Runge-Kutta method and the Fourier spectral method. The detailed discretization processes are discussed in the case of one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equations. In conclusion, a numerical scheme with third-order accuracy is presented. The order of total calculation cost is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>O</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>N</mi><msub><mo form="prefix">log</mo><mn>2</mn></msub><mi>N</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. As a benchmark, the relations between numerical accuracy and discretization unit size and that between the stability of calculation and discretization unit size are demonstrated for both linear and nonlinear cases.
