Abstract
Numerical solutions of Newell-Whitehead equation are investigated by collocation method in this study. Since higher order functions produce better approximations, septic B-spline basis functions is used for analysis and approximation. Error norms are calculated for the adequacy and effectiveness of the current method. Unconditional stability is proved using Von-Neumann theory. The numerical results are obtained and the comparisons are presented in the tables. Additionally, simulations of all numerical results are plotted to show the numerical behavior of the solution. Numerical results make the method more convenient and systematically handle the nonlinear solution process. The numerical solutions found make the method attractive and reliable for the solution of Fitzhugh-Nagumo type equations.
