“…Table 1 reports the maximum absolute error in the approximate solutions of u and v at time levels t = 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 using M = 50. The comparison of computational outcomes with FPM (Rashid and Ismail, 2009), CBSCM (Mittal and Arora, 2011), DQM (Mittal and Jiwari, 2012), CBS-DQM (Mittal and Tripathi, 2014), QBSCM (Raslan et al, 2017), FEB-DQM (Jima et al, 2018) and SpBSM (Shallal et al, 2019) shows the superior accuracy of the presented method because of its new approximation for the second derivative. In Table 2, the error norm L 1 , at t = 1, is listed corresponding to various choices of time step.…”
