Abstract

In this paper a numerical technique is proposed for solving the nonlinear generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers equation. Firstly, we obtain a time discrete scheme by approximating the first-order time derivative via forward finite difference formula, then we use Kansa’s approach to approximate the spatial derivatives. We prove that the time discrete scheme is unconditionally stable and convergent in time variable using the energy method. Also, we show that convergence order of the time discrete scheme is O(τ)O(τ). We solve the two-dimensional version of this equation using the method presented in this paper on different geometries such as the rectangular, triangular and circular domains and also the three-dimensional case is solved on the cubical and spherical domains. The aim of this paper is to show that the meshless method based on the radial basis functions and collocation approach is also suitable for the treatment of the nonlinear partial differential equations. Also, several test problems including the three-dimensional case are given. Numerical examples confirm the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
