A Deuflhard-type exponential integrator Fourier pseudospectral method for the "Good" Boussinesq equation

Abstract: We propose an exponential integrator Fourier pseudospectral method DEI-FP for solving the "Good" Boussinesq (GB) equation. The numerical scheme is based on a Deuflhard-type exponential integrator and a Fourier pseudospectral method for temporal and spatial discretizations, respectively. The scheme is fully explicit and efficient due to the fast Fourier transform. Rigorous error estimates are established for the method without any CFL-type condition constraint. In more details, the method converges quadratically and spectrally in time and space, respectively. Extensive numerical experiments are reported to confirm the theoretical analysis and to demonstrate rich dynamics of the GB equation.
