TL;DR

Based on C^3 quartic splines, a semi-discretization method containing two schemes is constructed to solve one-space-dimensional linear hyperbolic equations and it is shown that both schemes are unconditionally stable.

Abstract

In this paper, based on C3 quartic splines, a semi-discretization method containing two schemes is constructed to solve one-space-dimensional linear hyperbolic equations. It is shown that both schemes are unconditionally stable and their approximation orders are of O(k5+h4) and of O(k7+h4) with k and h being step sizes in time and space, respectively, which are much higher than those of other published schemes. A numerical example is presented and the results are compared with other published numerical results.
