AbstractIn this work, a second-order accuracy in both space and time Crank–Nicolson (C-N)-type scheme, a fourth-order accuracy in space and second-order accuracy in time compact scheme and a sixth-order accuracy in space and second-order accuracy in time compact scheme are proposed for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The C-N-type scheme is tested to satisfy the conservation of discrete mass. For the two compact schemes, the iterative algorithm and the Thomas algorithm in block matrix form are adopted to enhance the computational efficiency. Numerical experiment is given to test the mass conservation for the C-N-type scheme as well as the accuracy order of the three schemes. In addition, the numerical simulation of binary collision and the influence on the solitary solution by adding a small random perturbation to the initial condition are also discussed.
