Abstract

We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with dispersion modulated by a (formal) derivative of a time-dependent function with fractional Sobolev regularity of class Wα,2 for some α ∈ (0, 1). Due to the loss of smoothness in the problem, classical numerical methods face severe order reduction. In this work, we develop and analyze a new randomized exponential integrator based on a stratified Monte Carlo approximation. The new discretization technique averages the high oscillations in the solution allowing for improved convergence rates of order α + 1/2. In addition, the new approach allows us to treat a far more general class of modulations than the available literature. Numerical results underline our theoretical findings and show the favorable error behavior of our new scheme compared to classical methods.
