Numerical simulation for the fractional-in-space Ginzburg-Landau equation using Fourier spectral method

Abstract

<abstract><p>This paper uses the Fourier spectral method to study the propagation and interaction behavior of the fractional-in-space Ginzburg-Landau equation in different parameters and different fractional derivatives. Comparisons are made between the numerical and the exact solution, and it is found that the Fourier spectral method is a satisfactory and efficient algorithm for capturing the propagation of the fractional-in-space Ginzburg-Landau equation. Experimental findings indicate that the proposed method is easy to implement, effective and convenient in the long-time simulation for solving the proposed model. The influence of the fractional Laplacian operator on the fractional-in-space Ginzburg-Landau equation and some of the propagation behaviors of the 3D fractional-in-space Ginzburg-Landau equation are observed. In Experiment 2, we observe the propagation behaviors of the 3D fractional-in-space Ginzburg-Landau equation which are unlike any that have been previously obtained in numerical studies.</p></abstract>
