Description
Summary:A numerical investigation is conducted for the initial boundary value problem of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with homogeneous boundary conditions. Using the average implicit difference discretization, a second-order theoretical accuracy in time is achieved. For the spatial direction, a center-symmetric discretization coupled with the extrapolation technique is employed, yielding a three-level linear difference method with sixth-order accuracy. Consequently, the integration of these methods results in a linear finite difference scheme that accurately simulates the two conserved quantities of the original problem. Furthermore, theoretical results, including the convergence and stability of the proposed scheme, are proved using the discrete Sobolev inequality and the discrete Gronwall inequality. Numerical experiments validate the reliability of the scheme.
