Abstract

In this paper, the evolution equations with nonlinear term describing the resonance interaction between the long wave and the short wave are studied. The semi-discrete and fully discrete Crank-Nicholson Fourier spectral schemes are given. An energy estimation method is used to obtain error estimates for the approximate solutions. The numerical results obtained are compared with exact solution and found to be in good agreement.
