A new approach on numerical solutions of the Improved Boussinesq type equation using quadratic B-spline Galerkin finite element method

摘要

In the present manuscript, some numerical solutions of an Improved Boussinesq type equation are obtained by means of quadratic B-spline Galerkin finite element method. Then, error norms L2 and L∞ have been calculated to test the accuracy of the current method. In the manuscript, solitary wave movement and interaction of solitary–antisolitary waves are considered as test problems.
