This paper aims to develop a new high accuracy numerical method based on off-step non-polynomial spline in tension approximations for the solution of Burgers-Fisher and coupled nonlinear Burgers’ equations on a graded mesh. The spline method reported here is third order accurate in space and second order accurate in time. The proposed spline method involves only two off-step points and a central point on a graded mesh. The method is two-level implicit in nature and directly derived from the continuity condition of the first order space derivative of the non-polynomial tension spline function. The linear stability analysis of the proposed method has been examined and it is shown that the proposed two-level method is unconditionally stable for a linear model problem. The method is directly applicable to problems in polar systems. To demonstrate the strength and utility of the proposed method, the authors have solved the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation, generalized Burgers-Fisher equation, coupled Burgers-equations and parabolic equation in polar coordinates. The authors show that the proposed method enables us to obtain the high accurate solution for high Reynolds number.

In this method, the authors use only two-level in time-direction, and at each time-level, the authors use three grid points for the unknown function u(x,t) and two off-step points for the known variable x in spatial direction. The methodology followed in this paper is the construction of a non-polynomial spline function and using its continuity properties to obtain consistency condition, which is third order accurate on a graded mesh and fourth order accurate on a uniform mesh. From this consistency condition, the authors derive the proposed numerical method. The proposed method, when applied to a linear equation is shown to be unconditionally stable. To assess the validity and accuracy, the method is applied to solve several benchmark problems, and numerical results are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method.

The paper provides a third order numerical scheme on a graded mesh and fourth order spline method on a uniform mesh obtained directly from the consistency condition. In earlier methods, consistency conditions were only second order accurate. This brings an edge over other past methods. Also, the method is directly applicable to physical problems involving singular coefficients. So no modification in the method is required at singular points. This saves CPU time and computational costs.

There are no limitations. Obtaining a high accuracy spline method directly from the consistency condition is a new work. Also being an implicit method, this method is unconditionally stable.

Physical problems with singular and non-singular coefficients are directly solved by this method.

The paper develops a new method based on non-polynomial spline approximations of order two in time and three (four) in space, which is original and has lot of value because many benchmark problems of physical significance are solved in this method.

This study aims to use the polynomial approximation method based on the Pascal polynomial basis for obtaining the numerical solutions of partial differential equations. Moreover, this method does not require establishing grids in the computational domain.

In this study, the authors present a meshfree method based on Pascal polynomial expansion for the numerical solution of the Sobolev equation. In general, Sobolev-type equations have several applications in physics and mechanical engineering.

The authors use the Crank-Nicolson scheme to discrete the time variable and the Pascal polynomial-based (PPB) method for discretizing the spatial variables. But it is clear that increasing the value of the final time or number of time steps, will bear a lot of costs during numerical simulations. An important purpose of this paper is to reduce the execution time for applying the PPB method. To reach this aim, the proper orthogonal decomposition technique has been combined with the PPB method.

The developed procedure is tested on various examples of one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional versions of the governed equation on the rectangular and irregular domains to check its accuracy and validity.
