The Prediction-Correction Legendre Collocation Method for Nonlinear Evolutionary Problems

Abstract

The initial-boundary value problem of Burgers equation is considered. A prediction-correction Legendre collocation scheme is presented, which is easy to be performed. Its numerical solution possesses the accuracy of second-order in time and higher order in space. Numerical results are reported, which show the high accuracy of this approach. The techniques used in this paper are also applicable to other nonlinear evolutionary problems.
