An efficient and accurate numerical scheme is proposed, analyzed and implemented for the Kawahara and modified Kawahara equations which model many physical phenomena such as gravity-capillary waves and magneto-sound propagation in plasmas. The scheme consists of dual-Petrov-Galerkin method in space and Crank-Nicholson-leap-frog in time such that at each time step only a sparse banded linear sys...

Two discrete-time orthogonal spline collocation schemes are formulated and analyzed for solving the linear time-dependent Schrr odinger equation in two space variables. These are Crank-Nicolson and alternating direction implicit (ADI) schemes employing C 1 piecewise polynomial spaces of arbitrary degree 3 in each space variable. The stability of the schemes is examined and optimal order a prior...

We study the initial-boundary problem of dissipative symmetric regularized long wave equations with damping term. Crank-Nicolson nonlinear-implicit finite difference scheme is designed. Existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions are derived. It is proved that the finite difference scheme is of second-order convergence and unconditionally stable by the discrete energy method. Numerical simu...

The Crank–Nicolson scheme as well as its modified schemes is widely used in numerical simulations for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In this paper, we prove the multisymplecticity and symplecticity of this scheme. Firstly, we reconstruct the scheme by the concatenating method and present the corresponding discrete multisymplectic conservation law. Based on the discrete variational principl...

Classical alternating direction (AD) and fractional step (FS) methods for parabolic equations, based on some standard implicit time stepping procedure such as Crank-Nicolson, can have errors associated with the AD or FS perturbations that are much larger than the errors associated with the underlying time stepping procedure. We show that minor modi cations in the AD and FS procedures can virtua...

This work is mainly focused on improving the principle characteristics of RMPA. Here design of rectangular SRR based metamaterial structure is proposed, which has been superimposed on RMPA at a height of 3.2mm from its ground plane. The resonating frequency of the proposed antenna is 1.896GHz. Simulation results are suggested that the impedance bandwidth of RMPA with proposed metamaterial struc...

Explicit, implicit–explicit and Crank–Nicolson implicit–explicit numerical schemes for solving the generalized lubrication equation are derived. We prove that the implicit– explicit and Crank–Nicolson implicit–explicit numerical schemes are unconditionally stable. Numerical solutions obtained from both schemes are compared. Initial curves with both zero and finite contact angles are considered....

Advection equations are an essential part of many mathematical models arising in different fields of science and engineering. It is important to treat such equations with efficient numerical schemes. The well-known Crank-Nicolson scheme will be applied. It will be shown that the accuracy of the calculated results can be improved when the Crank-Nicolson scheme is combined with the Richardson Ext...
