Continuing earlier investigations, we analyze the convergence of operator splitting procedures combined with spatial discretization and rational approximations.
We provide general product formulas for the solutions of non-autonomous abstract Cauchy problems. The main technical tool is the application of evolution semigroup methods, allowing the direct application of existing results on autonomous problems. The results are then illustrated by the example of a imaginary time Schr\"odinger equation with time dependent potential. We also obtain convergence rates for the Strang-splitting applied to this problem.
The convergence of various operator splitting procedures, such as the sequential, the Strang and the weighted splitting, is investigated in the presence of a spatial approximation. To this end a variant of Chernoff's product formula is proved. The methods are applied to abstract partial delay differential equations.
