A space-time generalized finite difference scheme for long wave propagation based on high-order Korteweg-de Vries type equations

Abstract

In this paper, the space-time generalized finite difference scheme is applied to solve the nonlinear high-order Korteweg-de Vries equations in multiple dimensions. The proposed numerical scheme combines the space-time generalized finite difference method, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, and a time-marching approach. The space-time generalized finite difference method treats the temporal axis as a spatial axis, enabling the proposed scheme to discretize all derivatives in the governing equation. This is accomplished through Taylor series expansion and the moving least squares method. Due to the expandability of the Taylor series to any order, the proposed numerical scheme excels in efficiently handling mixed and higher-order derivatives. These capabilities are distinct advantages of the proposed scheme. The resulting system of algebraic equations is sparse but overdetermined. Therefore, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is directly applied to solve this nonlinear algebraic system. During the calculation process, the time- marching approach reduces computational effort and improves efficiency by dividing the space-time domain.
