The block-by-block method,proposed by Linz for a kind of Volterra integral equations with nonsingular kernels,and extended by Kumar and Agrawal to a class of initial value problems of fractional differential equations(FDEs)with Caputo derivatives,is an efficient and stable scheme.We analytically prove and numerically verify that this method is convergent with order at least 3 for any fractional order indexα>0.
In this paper, a multi-symplectic Hamiltonian formulation is presented for the coupled Schrdinger-Boussinesq equations （CSBE）. Then, a multi-symplectic scheme of the CSBE is derived. The discrete conservation laws of the Langmuir plasmon number and total perturbed number density are also proved. Numerical experiments show that the multi-symplectic scheme simulates the solitary waves for a long time, and preserves the conservation laws well.
