Abstract
In this paper, energy-preserving time high-order average vector field (AVF) compact finite difference scheme is proposed and analyzed for solving two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations including the nonlinear sine-Gordon equation and the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. We first present the corresponding Hamiltonian system to the two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations, and further apply the compact finite difference (CFD) operator and AVF method to develop an energy conservative high-order scheme in two dimensions. The Lp-norm boundedness of two-dimensional numerical solution is obtained from the energy conservation property, which plays an important role in the analysis of the scheme for the two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations in which the nonlinear term satisfies local Lipschitz continuity condition. We prove that the proposed scheme is energy conservative and uniquely solvable. Furthermore, optimal error estimate for the developed scheme is derived for the nonlinear sine-Gordon equation and the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in two dimensions. Numerical experiments are carried out to confirm the theoretical findings and to show the performance of the proposed method for simulating the propagation of nonlinear waves in layered media.
