Discrete-time orthogonal spline collocation method for one-dimensional sine-Gordon equation (Q1723229)

Summary: We present a discrete-time orthogonal spline collocation scheme for the one-dimensional sine-Gordon equation. This scheme uses Hermite basis functions to approximate the solution throughout the spatial domain on each time level. The convergence rate with order \(\mathcal{O}(h^4 + \tau^2)\) in \(L^2\) norm and stability of the scheme are proved. Numerical results are presented and compared with analytical solutions to confirm the accuracy of the presented scheme.
