Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a new method, namely, “Re-modified quintic B-spline collocation method” to solve the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky (KS) type equations. In this method, re-modified quintic B-spline functions and the Crank–Nicolson formulation is used for space and time integration, respectively. Five examples are considered to test out the efficiency and accuracy of the method. The main objective is to develop a method which gives more accurate results and reduces the computational cost so that the authors require less memory storage.
Design/methodology/approach
A new collocation technique is developed to solve the KS type equations. In this technique, quintic B-spline basis functions are re-modified and used to integrate the space derivatives while time derivative is discretized by using Crank–Nicolson formulation. The discretization yields systems of linear equations, which are solved by using Gauss elimination method with partial pivoting.
Findings
Five examples are considered to test out the efficiency and accuracy of the method. Finally, the present study summarizes the following outcomes: first, the computational cost of the proposed method is the less than quintic B-spline collocation method. Second, the present method produces better results than those obtained by Lattice Boltzmann method (Lai and Ma, 2009), quintic B-spline collocation method (Mittal and Arora, 2010), quintic B-spline differential quadrature method (DQM) (Mittal and Dahiya, 2017), extended modified cubic B-spline DQM (Tamsir et al., 2016) and modified cubic B-splines collocation method (Mittal and Jain, 2012).
Originality/value
The method presented in this paper is new to best of the authors’ knowledge. This work is the original work of authors and the manuscript is not submitted anywhere else for publication.

Abstract
Purpose
For a partial differential equation with a fourth-order derivative such as the Cahn-Hilliard equation, it is always a challenge to design numerical schemes that can handle the restrictive time step introduced by this higher order term. The purpose of this paper is to employ a fractional splitting method to isolate the convective, the nonlinear second-order and the fourth-order differential terms.
Design/methodology/approach
The full equation is then solved by consistent schemes for each differential term independently. In addition to validating the second-order accuracy, the authors will demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method by validating the dissipation of the Ginzberg-Lindau energy and the coarsening properties of the solution.
Findings
The scheme is second-order accuracy, the authors will demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method by validating the dissipation of the Ginzberg-Lindau energy and the coarsening properties of the solution.
Originality/value
The authors believe that this is the first time the equation is handled numerically using the fractional step method. Apart from the fact that the fractional step method substantially reduces computational time, it has the advantage of simplifying a complex process efficiently. This method permits the treatment of each segment of the original equation separately and piece them together, in a way that will be explained shortly, without destroying the properties of the equation.

Abstract
Purpose
A collocation technique based on re-defined quintic B-splines over Crank-Nicolson is presented to solve the Fisher's type equation. We take three cases of aforesaid equation. The stability analysis and rate of convergence are also done.
Design/methodology/approach
The quintic B-splines are re-defined which are used for space integration. Taylor series expansion is applied for linearization of the nonlinear terms. The discretization of the problem gives up linear system of equations. A Gaussian elimination method is used to solve these systems.
Findings
Three examples are taken for analysis. The analysis gives guarantee that the present method provides much better results than previously presented methods in literature. The stability analysis and rate of convergence show that the method is unconditionally stable and quadratic convergent for Fisher's type equation. Moreover, the present method is simple and easy to implement, so it may be considered as an alternative method to solve PDEs.
Originality/value
This work is the original work of authors which is neither published nor submitted anywhere else for publication.

Abstract
Purpose
The main aim of the paper is to develop a new B-splines collocation algorithm based on modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to find approximate solutions of nonlinear parabolic Burgers’-type equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
Design/methodology/approach
A modification is made in cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to handle the Dirichlet boundary conditions and an algorithm is developed with the help of modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions. The proposed algorithm reduced the Burgers’ equations into a system of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations in time variable. Then, strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta 3rd order (SSP-RK3) scheme is used to solve the obtained system.
Findings
A different technique based on modified cubic trigonometric B-spline functions is proposed which is quite different from to the schemes developed in Abbas et al. (2014) and Nazir et al. (2016), and the developed algorithms are free from linearization process and finite difference operators.
Originality/value
To the best knowledge of the authors, this technique is novel for solving nonlinear partial differential equations, and the new proposed technique gives better results than the results discussed in Ozis et al. (2003), Kutluay et al. (1999), Khater et al. (2008), Korkmaz and Dag (2011), Kutluay et al. (2004), Rashidi et al.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficient numerical scheme for non-linear two-dimensional (2D) parabolic partial differential equations using modified bi-cubic B-spline functions. As a test case, method has been applied successfully to 2D Burgers equations.
Design/methodology/approach
The scheme is based on collocation of modified bi-cubic B-Spline functions. The authors used these functions for space variable and for its derivatives. Collocation form of the partial differential equation results into system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The obtained system of ODEs has been solved by strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta method. The computational complexity of the method is O(p log(p)), where p denotes total number of mesh points.
Findings
Obtained numerical solutions are better than those available in literature. Ease of implementation and very small size of computational work are two major advantages of the present method. Moreover, this method provides approximate solutions not only at the grid points but also at any point in the solution domain.
Originality/value
First time, modified bi-cubic B-spline functions have been applied to non-linear 2D parabolic partial differential equations. Efficiency of the proposed method has been confirmed with numerical experiments. The authors conclude that the method provides convergent approximations and handles the equations very well in different cases.
