Adaptive interpolation wavelet and homotopy perturbation method for partial differential equations

Abstract

Abstract. The homotopy perturbation method proposed by Ji-Huan He has been developed to solve nonlinear matrix differential equations. This paper constructs an adaptive multilevel quasi-wavelet operator according to the interpolation wavelet theory, with which the nonlinear partial differential equations can be discretized adaptively in physical spaces as a matrix differential equation, its numerical solution can be obtained by using the homotopy perturbation method. Numerical results show that the homotopy perturbation method is not sensitive to the time step, so the arithmetic error mainly arises in the space step. Burgers equation is taken as examples to illustrate its effectiveness and convenience.
