Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Central to much of science, engineering, and society today is the building of mathematical models to represent complex processes. Recently, the non-relativistic limit of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations in de Sitter spacetime has been used to derive Schrödinger equations with weighted nonlinear terms In this paper, numerical simulations are constructed to clarify the behavior of the solution in both one- and two-dimensions. These simulations are constructed based on the Crank-Nicolson scheme in the time direction and the Galerkin finite element in the spatial direction. The nonlinear system of algebraic equations resulting from the constructed scheme is solved using Newton’s method. It is also demonstrated that the numerical approximation converges to the exact one.
