Numerical treatment of coupled nonlinear hyperbolic Klein-Gordon equations

Abstract

A semi-analytical solution based on a Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto collocation (J-GLC) method is proposed and developed for the numerical solution of the spatial variable for two nonlinear coupled Klein-Gordon (KG) partial differential equations. The general Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto points are used as collocation nodes in this approach. The main characteristic behind the J-GL-C approach is that it reduces such problems to solve a system of ordinary differential equations (SODEs) in time. This system is solved by diagonally-implicit Runge-Kutta-Nyström scheme. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient, accurate, and compare favorably with the analytical solutions.
