    Abstract In this study, the numerical solution for the Modified Equal Width Wave (MEW) equation is presented using Fourier spectral method that use to discretize the space variable and Leap-frog method scheme for time dependence. Test problems including the single soliton wave motion, interaction of two solitary waves and interaction of three solitary waves will use to validate the proposed method. The three invariants of the motion are evaluated to determine the conservation properties of the generated scheme. Finally, a Maxwellian initial condition pulse is then studied. The L2 and L∞ error norms are computed to study the accuracy and the simplicity of the presented method

    In this work, a septic B-spline collocation method is implemented to find the numerical solution of the generalized equal width (GEW) wave equation by using two different linearization techniques. Test problems including single soliton, interaction of solitons and Maxwellian initial condition are solved to verify the proposed method by calculating the error norms L2 and L∞ and the invariants I1, I2 and I3. Applying the Von-Neumann stability analysis, the proposed method is shown to be unconditionally stable. As a result, the obtained results are found in good agreement with the some recent results

    In this article, a mathematical model representing solution of the nonlinear generalized equal width (GEW) equation has been considered. Here we aim to investigate solutions of GEW equation using a numerical scheme by using sextic B-spline Subdomain finite element method. At first Galerkin finite element method is proposed and a priori bound has been established. Then a semi-discrete and a Crank-Nicolson Galerkin finite element approximation have been studied respectively. In addition to that a powerful Fourier series analysis has been performed and indicated that our method is unconditionally stable. Finally, proficiency and practicality of the method have been demonstrated by illustrating it on two important problems of the GEW equation including propagation of single solitons and collision of double solitary waves. The performance of the numerical algorithm has been demonstrated for the motion of single soliton by computing L∞ and L2 norms and for the other problem computing three invariant quantities I1, I2 and I3. The presented numerical algorithm has been compared with other established schemes and it is observed that the presented scheme is shown to be effectual and valid

    In this paper, the generalized equal width (GEW) wave equation is solved numerically by using a quintic B-spline collocation algorithm with two different linearization techniques. Also, a linear stability analysis of the numerical scheme based on the von Neumann method is investigated. The numerical algorithm is applied to three test problems consisting of a single solitary wave, the interaction of two solitary waves, and a Maxwellian initial condition. In order to determine the performance of the numerical method, we compute the error in the L2- and L∞ norms and in the invariants I1, I2, and I3 of the GEW equation. These calculations are compared with earlier studies. Afterwards, the motion of solitary waves according to different parameters is designe

    Numerical solutions of the generalized equal width wave equation using the Petrov–Galerkin method

    Get PDF
    In this article, we consider a generalized equal width wave (GEW) equation which is a significant nonlinear wave equation as it can be used to model many problems occurring in applied sciences. Here we study a Petrov–Galerkin method for the model problem, in which element shape functions are quadratic and weight functions are linear B-splines. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the weak form of the equation. Then, we establish the theoretical bound of the error in the semi-discrete spatial scheme as well as of a full discrete scheme at t = t n. Furthermore, a powerful Fourier analysis has been applied to show that the proposed scheme is unconditionally stable. Finally, propagation of solitary waves and evolution of solitons are analyzed to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed scheme. The three invariants (I1, I2 and I3) of motion have been commented to verify the conservation features of the proposed algorithms. Our proposed numerical scheme has been compared with other published schemes and demonstrated to be valid, effective and it outperforms the others
