derivative with order α∈(1,2. The compact operator is proved with fourth-order accuracy.
Combining the compact operator in space discretization, a linearized difference scheme is
proposed for a two-dimensional nonlinear space fractional Schrödinger equation. It is
proved that the difference scheme is uniquely solvable, stable, and convergent with order
O(τ^2+h^4), where τ is the time step size, h=\max{h_1,h_2\}, and h_1,\,h_2 are space grid …
