- We study relaxation-based approaches for conserving mass and energy in the numerical solution of Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) type systems. Relaxation-based methods offer a general approach that can be applied as post-time step processing to achieve conservation with any time-stepping scheme. Here we study two types of relaxation techniques applied to implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta schemes, with Fourier collocation in space. We also study SP equations with time-varying coefficients (which appear naturally in cosmology) where energy is not conserved but satisfies a balance equation. We show that the fully-discrete system conserves both mass and energy (or satisfies the balance equation in case of time-varying coefficients), up to rounding errors. The effectiveness of these methods is demonstrated via numerical examples, including a three-dimensional cosmological simulation.
