Extension of Haar wavelet technique for numerical solution of three-dimensional linear and nonlinear telegraph equations

Abstract

In this manuscript, a hybrid numerical technique is presented for solving three-dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equations. The proposed technique is based on the Haar wavelet collocation method and the finite difference method. In this technique, the space derivatives are estimated by truncated Haar wavelet series, while the time derivatives are approximated using finite difference method. The method is applied to some linear and non-linear three-dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equations. In the linear case, the resulting algebraic system is solved by the Gauss elimination technique. Whereas in the nonlinear case, the quasi-Newton linearization technique is utilized to remove the nonlinearity of the problem. The maximum absolute errors, root mean square errors and computational rate of convergence are calculated for a different number of collocation points at different time steps of the final time t=1. The stability analysis for the proposed method is also discussed. Overall, the recently devised numerical method boasts straightforward implementation, rapid convergence, and enhanced accuracy in addressing both linear and nonlinear problems.
