Quintic trigonometric spline based numerical scheme for nonlinear modified Burgers' equation

This paper presents a numerical method based on quintic trigonometric B‐splines for solving modified Burgers' equation (MBE). Here, the MBE is first discretized in time by Crank–Nicolson scheme and the resulting scheme is solved by quintic trigonometric B‐splines. The proposed method tackles nonlinearity by using a linearization process known as quasilinearization. A rigorous analysis of the stability and convergence of the proposed method are carried out, which proves that the method is unconditionally stable and has order of convergence O(h⁴ + k²). Numerical results presented are very much in accordance with the exact solution, which is established by the negligible values of L₂ and L_∞ errors. Computational efficiency of the scheme is proved by small values of CPU time. The method furnishes results better than those obtained by using most of the existing methods for solving MBE.

A marker method for the solution of the damped Burgers' equation

A new method for the solution of the damped Burgers' equation is described. The marker method relies on the definition of a convective field associated with the underlying partial differential equation; the information about the approximate solution is associated with the response of an ensemble of markers to this convective field. Some key aspects of the method, such as the selection of the shape function and the initial loading, are discussed in some details. The marker method is applicable to a general class of nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2006     

Exact solutions for nonlinear Burgers' equation by homotopy perturbation method

The aim of this article is to construct a new efficient recurrent relation to solve nonlinear Burgers' equation. The homotopy perturbation method is used to solve this equation. Because Burgers' equation arises in many applications, it is worth trying new solution methods. Comparison of the results with those of Adomian's decomposition method leads to significant consequences. Four standard problems are used to illustrate the method. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Finite difference method combined with differential quadrature method for numerical computation of the modified equal width wave equation

The aim of this study is to improve the numerical solution of the modified equal width wave equation. For this purpose, finite difference method combined with differential quadrature method with Rubin and Graves linearizing technique has been used. Modified cubic B‐spline base functions are used as base function. By the combination of two numerical methods and effective linearizing technique high accurate numerical algorithm is obtained. Three main test problems are solved for various values of the coefficients. To observe the performance of the present method, the error norms of the single soliton problem which has analytical solution are calculated. Besides these error norms, three invariants are reported. Comparison of the results displays that our algorithm produces superior results than those given in the literature.

Operator splitting for numerical solution of the modified Burgers' equation using finite element method

The aim of this study is to obtain numerical behavior of a one‐dimensional modified Burgers' equation using cubic B‐spline collocation finite element method after splitting the equation with Strang splitting technique. Moreover, the Ext4 and Ext6 methods based on Strang splitting and derived from extrapolation have also been applied to the equation. To observe how good and effective this technique is, we have used the well‐known the error norms L₂ and L_∞ in the literature and compared them with previous studies. In addition, the von Neumann (Fourier series) method has been applied after the nonlinear term has been linearized to investigate the stability of the method.     

A fast numerical method for solving coupled Burgers' equations

A new fast numerical scheme is proposed for solving time‐dependent coupled Burgers' equations. The idea of operator splitting is used to decompose the original problem into nonlinear pure convection subproblems and diffusion subproblems at each time step. Using Taylor's expansion, the nonlinearity in convection subproblems is explicitly treated by resolving a linear convection system with artificial inflow boundary conditions that can be independently solved. A multistep technique is proposed to rescue the possible instability caused by the explicit treatment of the convection system. Meanwhile, the diffusion subproblems are always self‐adjoint and coercive at each time step, and they can be efficiently solved by some existing preconditioned iterative solvers like the preconditioned conjugate galerkin method, and so forth. With the help of finite element discretization, all the major stiffness matrices remain invariant during the time marching process, which makes the present approach extremely fast for the time‐dependent nonlinear problems. Finally, several numerical examples are performed to verify the stability, convergence and performance of the new method.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multilevel augmentation methods for solving the Burgers' equation

In this article, multilevel augmentation method (MAM) for solving the Burgers' equation is developed. The Crank–Nicolson–Galerkin scheme of the Burgers' equation results in nonlinear algebraic systems at each time step, the computational cost for solving these nonlinear systems is huge. The MAM allows us to solve the nonlinear system at a fixed initial lower level and then compensate the error by solving a linear system at the higher level. We prove that the method has the same optimal convergence order as the projection method, while reducing the computational complexity greatly. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis and illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The pointwise estimates of a conservative difference scheme for Burgers' equation

In this article, we are concerned with the numerical analysis of a nonlinear implicit difference scheme for Burgers' equation. A priori estimation of the analytical solution is provided in the sense of L^∞ -norm when the initial value is bounded in H¹-norm. Conservation, boundedness, and unique solvability are proved at length. Inspired by the method of the priori estimation for the analytical solution, we prove the convergence and stability of the difference scheme in L^∞ -norm. Finally, numerical examples are carried out to verify our theoretical results.

In this article, an iterative method for the approximate solution to one‐dimensional variable‐coefficient Burgers' equation is proposed in the reproducing kernel space W_(3,2). It is proved that the approximation w_n(x,t) converges to the exact solution u(x,t) for any initial function w₀(x,t) ε W_(3,2), and the approximate solution is the best approximation under a complete normal orthogonal system . Moreover the derivatives of w_n(x,t) are also uniformly convergent to the derivatives of u(x,t).© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2009     

A fast adaptive spectral graph wavelet method for the viscous Burgers' equation on a star-shaped connected graph

Water wave propagation in an open channel network can be described by the viscous Burgers' equation on the corresponding connected graph, possibly with small viscosity. In this paper, we propose a fast adaptive spectral graph wavelet method for the numerical solution of the viscous Burgers' equation on a star-shaped connected graph. The vital feature of spectral graph wavelets is that they can be constructed on any complex network using the graph Laplacian. The essence of the method is that the same operator can be used for the construction of the spectral graph wavelet and the approximation of the differential operator involved in the Burgers' equation. In this paper, two test problems are considered with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. The numerical results show that the method accurately captures the evolution of the localized patterns at all the scales, and the adaptive node arrangement is accordingly obtained. The convergence of the given method is verified, and efficiency is shown using CPU time.

The stability of the scheme is examined and optimal error estimates are derived. Numerical experiments are given to confirm the theoretical results.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A numerical method for computing radially symmetric solutions of a dissipative nonlinear modified Klein‐Gordon equation

In this article we develop a finite‐difference scheme to approximate radially symmetric solutions of a dissipative nonlinear modified Klein‐Gordon equation subject to smooth initial conditions ? and ψ in an open sphere D around the origin, with constant internal and external damping coefficients—β and γ, respectively—, and nonlinear term of the form G′(w) = w^p, with p > 1 an odd number. The functions ? and ψ are radially symmetric in D, and ?, ψ, r?, and rψ are assumed to be small at infinity. We prove that our scheme is consistent order ??(Δt²) + ??(Δr²) for G′ identically equal to zero and provide a necessary condition for it to be stable order n. Part of our study will be devoted to compare the physical effects of β and γ. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2005
