A note on the fractional Schrödinger differential equations

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce stability analysis for the initial value problem for the fractional Schrödinger differential equation: Equation 1 in a Hilbert space H with a self‐adjoint positive definite operator A under the condition |α(s)|<M1/s1/2 and the first order of accuracy difference scheme for the approximate solution of this initial value problem.Design/methodology/approachThe paper considers the stability estimates for the solution of this problem and the stability estimate for the approximate solution of first order of accuracy difference scheme of this problem.FindingsThe paper finds the stability for the fractional Schrödinger differential equation and the first order of accuracy difference scheme of that equation by applications to one‐dimensional fractional Schrödinger differential equation with nonlocal boundary conditions and multidimensional fractional Schrödinger differential equation with Dirichlet conditions.Originality/valueThe paper is a significant work on stability of fractional Schrödinger differential equation and its difference scheme presenting some numerical experiments which resulted from applying obtained theorems on several mixed fractional Schrödinger differential equations.
