Abstract

For operator splitting methods, an approach based on Taylor expansion and the particular structure of its leading term as an element of a free Lie algebra is used for the setup of a system of order conditions. Along with a brief review of the underlying theoretical background, we discuss the implementation of the resulting algorithm in computer algebra, in particular using Maple 18 (Maple is a trademark of MapleSoft\(^\mathrm{TM}\).). A parallel version of such a code is described, and its performance on a computational node with 16 threads is documented.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The aspect (ii) enters the discussion in [2].

  2. 2.

    By \(\varPhi _F\) we denote the flow associated with the equation \(\partial _t u = F(u)\), and \(\varPhi _A,\,\varPhi _B\) are defined analogously.

  3. 3.

    ‘Non-vanishing’ means non-vanishing in general (generic case, with no special assumptions on A and B).

  4. 4.

    If A and B commute, i.e., \(AB=BA\), then all these expressions vanish.

  5. 5.

    There are special cases of practical interest where this growth is much more moderate; we do not discuss such details here.
