The Exponential Cubic B-Spline Collocation Method for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation


Ozlem Ersoy, Idiris Dag




In this study the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky (KS) equation has been solved using the collocation method, based on the exponential cubic B-spline approximation together with the Crank Nicolson. KS equation is fully integrated into a linearized algebraic equations. The results of the proposed method are compared with both numerical and analytical results by studying two text problems. It is found that the simulating results are in good agreement with both exact and existing numerical solutions.
