Abstract

In this article, we present isoparametric finite elements for the numerical solution of the 2-dimensional regularized long wave (RLW) equation. A semi discrete scheme and a fully discrete scheme are presented and the accuracy of these schemes are measured by some error norms.

Keywords

RLW equation, isoparametric finite elements, optimal error estimates.
