Resumen
This study applies the space?time generalized finite difference scheme to solve nonlinear dispersive shallow water waves described by the modified Camassa?Holm equation, the modified Degasperis?Procesi equation, the Fornberg?Whitham equation, and its modified form. The proposed meshless numerical scheme combines the space?time generalized finite difference method, the two-step Newton?s method, and the time-marching method. The space?time approach treats the temporal derivative as a spatial derivative. This enables the discretization of all partial derivatives using a spatial discretization method and efficiently handles mixed derivatives with the proposed mesh-less numerical scheme. The space?time generalized finite difference method is derived from Taylor series expansion and the moving least-squares method. The numerical discretization process only involves functional data and weighting coefficients on the central and neighboring nodes. This results in a sparse matrix system of nonlinear algebraic equations that can be efficiently solved using the two-step Newton?s method. Additionally, the time-marching method is employed to advance the space?time domain along the time axis. Several numerical examples are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed space?time generalized finite difference scheme.
