Özet

In this paper we use a linearized numerical scheme based on finite difference method to obtain solitary wave solutions of the one-dimensional modified equal width (MEW) equation. Two test problems including the motion of a single solitary wave and the interaction of two solitary waves are solved to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed numerical scheme. The obtained results show that the proposed scheme is an accurate and efficient numerical technique in the case of small space and time steps. A stability analysis of the scheme is also investigated.
