Efficiency of High-Order Accurate Difference Schemes for the Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Two numerical models to obtain the solution of the KdV equation are proposed. Numerical tools, compact fourth-order and standard fourth-order finite difference techniques, are applied to the KdV equation. The fundamental conservative properties of the equation are preserved by the finite difference...
