A numerical Haar wavelet-finite difference hybrid method and its convergence for nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equation

Abstract

AbstractIn this research work, we proposed a Haar wavelet collocation method (HWCM) for the numerical solution of first- and second-order nonlinear hyperbolic equations. The time derivative in the governing equations is approximated by a finite difference. The nonlinear hyperbolic equation is converted into its full algebraic form once the space derivatives are replaced by the finite Haar series. Convergence analysis is performed both in space and time, where the computational results follow the theoretical statements of convergence. Many test problems with different nonlinear terms are presented to verify the accuracy, capability, and convergence of the proposed method for the first- and second-order nonlinear hyperbolic equations.
