This thesis provides a numerical analysis of numerical methods for partial differential equations of Schrödinger type on the d-dimensional torus, namely the linear Schrödinger equation with potential, the inhomogeneous linear Schrödinger equation and the non linear Schrödinger equation. The first part of this thesis deals with symplectic time-splitting methods for the linear Schrödinger equation with potential. Under a non resonance condition, we prove a normal form theorem for the numerical propagator. This theorem allows us to derive properties of preservation of the regularity of the numerical solution for non resonant time steps. The second part of this thesis presents a numerical analysis of exponential Runge-Kutta methods for the inhomogeneous linear Schrödinger equation and for the non linear Schrödinger equation. Over a finite time interval, we give sufficient order conditions for (dollar)s(dollar)-stage collocation methods to be of order s, s+1 and s+2 when applied to any of these two problems. Moreover, we illustrate and explain the effect of the numerical resonances that may occur when solving inhomogeneous linear problems with such methods.
