Hybrid cubic B-Spline, system of equations, Sine-Gordon equation, spatial variable, finite difference schemeAbstract
In this article, a hybrid cubic B-spline collocation method has been proposed to find the numerical solutions of a well-known nonlinear Sine-Gordon equation. The finite difference scheme has been employed to discretize the time derivative, whereas cubic B-spline functions are used for spatial discretization. The efficiency of the applied method is checked through some test problems. Numerical outcomes are compared with the exact solutions available in the literature which illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It can easily be concluded that the results obtained are reliable and consistent with those found in earlier research.
