English abstract:
We introduce a defect correction principle for exponential operator splitting methods
applied to time-dependent linear Schrödinger equations and
construct a posteriori local error estimators for the Lie-Trotter and Strang splitting methods.
Under natural commutator bounds on the involved operators we prove asymptotical correctness of
the local error estimators, and along the way recover the known a priori convergence bounds.
Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical local and global error estimates
