Abstract
In this talk, a novel fourth-order three-point compact operator for the nonlinear convection term is provided. The operator makes the numerical analysis of higher order nonlinear or linearly implicit difference schemes become possible for a wide class of nonlinear evolutionary equations under the unified framework. We take the classical viscous Burgers’equation as an example and establish a new conservative fourth-order implicit compact difference scheme based on the method of order reduction. A detailed theoretical analysis is carried out. Furthermore, we derive a three-level linearized compact difference scheme for viscous Burgers’equation based on the proposed operator. Applying the compact operator to other more complex and higher-order nonlinear evolutionary equations is feasible, including Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers’equation, Korteweg-de Vries equation, Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and classification to name a few. Numerical results confirm our results.
