Abstract

In this paper, two classes of methods are developed for the solution of two space dimensional wave equations with a nonlinear source term. We have used non-polynomial cubic spline function approximations in both space directions. The methods involve some parameters, by suitable choices of the parameters, a new high accuracy three time level scheme of order O(h4 + k4 + ź2 + ź2h2 + ź2k2) has been obtained. Stability analysis of the methods have been carried out. The results of some test problems are included to demonstrate the practical usefulness of the proposed methods. The numerical results for the solution of two dimensional sine-Gordon equation are compared with those already available in literature.
