We consider a nonlinear Dirac system in one space dimension with periodic boundary conditions. First, we discuss questions on the existence and uniqueness of the solution. Then, we propose an implicit-explicit finite difference method for its approximation, proving optimal order a priori error estimates in various discrete norms and showing results from numerical experiments.
Mots-clés : existence, uniqueness, finite difference methods, error estimates
