Title: A second order convergent difference scheme for the initial-boundary value problem of Rosenau-Burgers equation Authors: Sitong Dong (Yanbian Univ., Yanji, China) Xin Zhang (Harbin Engineering Univ., Harbin, China} Yuanfeng Jin (Yanbian Univ., Yanji, China) Abstract: We construct a two-level implicit nonlinear finite difference scheme for the initial boundary value problem of Rosenau-Burgers equation based on the method of order reduction. We discuss conservation, unique solvability, and convergence for the difference scheme. The new scheme is shown to be second-order convergent in time and space. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate our theoretical analysis. Submitted December 2, 2023. Published July 04, 2024. Math Subject Classifications: 65M06, 65M12.
