The lattice Boltzmann space/time discretisation, as usually derived from integration along characteristics, is shown to correspond to a Strang splitting between decoupled streaming and collision steps. Strang splitting offers a second-order accurate approximation to evolution under the combination of two non-commuting operators, here identified with the streaming and collision terms in the disc...

Operator splitting time discretization techniques are getting more and more popular for the numerical simulation of non-linear problems in porous media. The main idea is to split complex operators in evolution equations into simpler ones which are successively solved in each time step. For porous media flow a natural splitting is given by the diffusive and the advective part of the flux. Then f...

The aim of this paper is to carry out a rigorous error analysis for the Strang splitting Laguerre–Hermite/Hermite collocation methods for the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation (GPE). We derive error estimates for full discretizations of the three-dimensional GPE with cylindrical symmetry by the Strang splitting Laguerre–Hermite collocation method, and for the d-dimensional GPE by the Str...
