On the behavior of high-order compact approximations in the one-dimensional sine–Gordon equation

Abstract

In this paper, a family of high-order compact finite difference methods in combination with Krylov subspace methods is used for solution of the nonlinear sine-Gordon equation. We developed numerical methods by replacing the time and space derivatives by compact finite-difference approximations. The system of resulting nonlinear finite-difference equations is solved by Krylov subspace methods. The behavior of the compact finite-difference method is analyzed for error estimate and computational cost. Numerical results are presented to verify the behavior of high-order compact approximations for stability and convergence. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed scheme are also considered.

On the Behavior of Combination High-Order Compact Approximations with Preconditioned Methods in the Diffusion-Convection Equation

“…Recently, various powerful mathematical methods such as the homotopy perturbation method, variational iteration method, Adomian decomposition method and others [1][2][3] have been proposed to obtain approximate solutions in partial differential equations (PDEs). The 2-D parabolic differential equations appeared in many scientific fields of engineering and science such as neutron diffusion, heat transfer and fluid flow problems.…”
