A new conservative finite difference scheme for Boussinesq paradigm equation (Q424118)

A family of nonlinear conservative finite difference schemes for the multidimensional Boussinesq paradigm equation is considered. Second-order convergence and the preservation of the discrete energy for this approach are proved. Existence and boundedness of the discrete solution on an appropriate time interval are established. The schemes are numerically tested on the models of the propagation of a soliton and the interaction of two solitons. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed family of schemes is about two times more accurate than the family of schemes studied by \textit{N. Kolkovska} [Proceedings of the 2nd international conference (AMiTaNS'10), Sozopol, Bulgaria, June 21--26, 2010. Melville, NY: American Institute of Physics (AIP).
