Convergence of the new exponential integrators and a traditional finite difference scheme. The black lines mark first- and second-order convergence. All errors are calculated relative to the solution using the traditional half-step method with 10 241 steps. We tested integration schemes on two different samples. One (a) is a perfect crystal, the other (b) is the edge dislocation type sample shown in Fig. 2. All calculations are in the case . |
