Abstract: | The fourth order average vector field (AVF) method is applied to solve
the "Good" Boussinesq equation. The semi-discrete system of the "good" Boussinesq
equation obtained by the pseudo-spectral method in spatial variable, which is a
classical finite dimensional Hamiltonian system, is discretized by the fourth order
average vector field method. Thus, a new high order energy conservation scheme of
the "good" Boussinesq equation is obtained. Numerical experiments confirm that the
new high order scheme can preserve the discrete energy of the "good" Boussinesq
equation exactly and simulate evolution of different solitary waves well. |
