Abstract: Lie group methods for non-autonomous semi-discretised in space, partial differential equations are considered. The use of time-dependent frozen vector fields and their corresponding algebra actions on a manifold is introduced. A new integration scheme, for the numerical solution of semi-linear problems, based on the so-called |comutator-free Lie group methods|, with algebra action arising from the proposed new framework is derived. The scheme is then compared with some existing methods in several numerical experiments.
Keywords: algebra action; exponential integrators; Lie group methods; stiff systems; partial differential equations; PDE; time-dependent vector fields; frozen vector fields; Lie group integrators.
