An efficient numerical method for the modified regularized long wave equation using Fourier spectral method

The modified regularized long wave (MRLW) equation is numerically solved using Fourier spectral collection method. The MRLW equation is discretized in space variable by the Fourier spectral method and Leap-Frog method for time dependence. To validate the efficiency, accuracy and simplicity of the used method, four cases study are solved. The single soliton wave motion, interaction of two solitary waves, interaction of three solitary waves and a Maxwellian initial condition pulse are studied. The L2 and L∞ error norms are computed for the motion of single solitary waves. To determine the conservation properties of the MRLW equation three invariants of motion are evaluated for all test problems.
