چکیده
A method, called “the discrete variational method”, has been recently presented by Furihata and Matsuo for designing finite difference schemes that inherit energy conservation or dissipation property from nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper the method is enhanced so that the derived schemes be highly accurate in space by introducing higher order spatial difference operators, including the so-called “spectral differentiation” operator. Applications to the KdV equation, and the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation are also presented.

Fully Discrete, Entropy Conservative Schemes of ArbitraryOrder
We consider weak solutions of (hyperbolic or hyperbolic-elliptic) systems of conservation laws in one-space dimension and their approximation by finite difference schemes in conservative form. The systems under consideration are endowed with an entropy-entropy flux pair. We introduce a general approach to construct second and third order accurate, fully discrete (in both space and time) entropy...
متن کاملA Linear Difference Scheme for Dissipative Symmetric Regularized Long Wave Equations with Damping Term
We study the initial-boundary problem of dissipative symmetric regularized long wave equations with damping term by finite difference method. A linear three-level implicit finite difference scheme is designed. Existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions are derived. It is proved that the finite difference scheme is of second-order convergence and unconditionally stable by the discrete energ...
متن کاملConservative finite difference schemes for the Degasperis-Procesi equation
We consider the numerical integration of the Degasperis–Procesi equation, which was recently introduced as a completely integrable shallow water equation. For the equation, we propose nonlinear and linear finite difference schemes that preserve two invariants associated with the bi-Hamiltonian form of the equation at a same time. We also prove the unique solvability of the schemes, and show som...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin methods for solving a quasistatic contact problem
We consider the numerical solution of a nonlinear evolutionary variational inequality, arising in the study of quasistatic contact problems. We study spatially semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes for the problem with several discontinuous Galerkin discretizations in space and finite difference discretization in time. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on the solution, a unified error...
متن کاملThe dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin method and related difference schemes
We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we ...
