Abstract

There are many non-linear developmental equations in the process of modern physics research. The Sine-Gordon equation has become an important model of the infinite-dimensional dynamical systems as it has many interesting phenomena, for Sine-Gordon equation, because of its conservation of energy, we lay too much stress on the numerical schemes of conservation of energy in recent years, and which also have a better result than ones of non-conservation, but the damped Sine-Gordon equation is non-conservation of energy because of its damping term An ADI finite element scheme and its error estimation is studied in this paper, by using this method, a multidimensional problem can be solved as a series of one dimensional problems. With the help of thoery and skill of prior estimates of differential equations optimal order error estimate is derived. At last, we give the numerical results of the scheme.
