Abstract:
In this paper, we are going to utilize newly developed Higher Order Haar wavelet method (HOHWM) and classical Haar wavelet method (HWM) to numerically solve the Regularized Long Wave (RLW) equation. Spatial variable of the RLW equation is treated with HOHWM and HWM separately. On the other hand temporal variable is discretized by finite differences combined with Strang splitting approach. The presented methods applied to three different test problems and the obtained results are given in tables as well as depicted in figures. The obtained results are compared with analytical results wherever they exist. The error norms L2 and L∞ and invariants I1, I2 and I3 are used to show the accuracy of the methods when comparing the present results with those in the literature. © 2022 International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS)
