摘要:In this paper, we study a conservative difference scheme for the sine-Gordon equation (SGE) with the Riesz space fractional derivative. We rigorously establish the conservation property and solvability of the difference scheme. We discuss the stability and convergence of the difference scheme in the L ∞ $L_{\infty}$ norm. To reduce the computational complexity, we introduce a revised Newton method for implementing the difference scheme. Finally, we provide several numerical experiments to support the theoretical results.
