Energy stability and error estimates for a second-order structure-preserving exponential integrator method for smectic-A liquid crystals

In this work, we develop a second-order, linear, decoupled, and structure-preserving numerical scheme for the modified Landau--de Gennes model of smectic-A (SmA) liquid crystals. The main contributions are threefold. First, to the best of our knowledge, we propose the first integration of the generalized scalar auxilia...
