Abstract

In this article, we study a numerical method and its convergence for solving the time-dependent Maxwell-Schrödinger equations under the Lorentz gauge. An alternating Crank-Nicolson finite-element method for solving the problem is presented and an optimal error estimate for the numerical algorithm is obtained by a mathematical inductive method. Numerical experiments are then carried out to confirm the theoretical results.
