Two-level linearized and local uncoupled difference schemes for the two-component evolutionary Korteweg-de Vries system

The two-level linearized and local uncoupled spatial second order and compact difference schemes are derived for the two-component evolutionary system of nonhomogeneous Korteweg-de Vries equations. It is shown by the mathematical induction that these two schemes are uniquely solvable and convergent in a discrete L_∞ norm with the convergence order of O(τ² + h²) and O(τ² + h⁴), respectively, where τ and h are the step sizes in time and space. Three numerical examples are given to confirm the theoretical results.
