Boundary value problem for the nonlinear analogues of the Boussinesq equation: Numerical solution and its stability

Abstract

The recent work on the solvability of the boundary value problem for the nonlinear analogue of the Boussinesq equation has been further extended to focus on the characteristics of the solution. Since this type of equation does not have a known analytical solution for arbitrary boundary conditions, the problem has been solved numerically. The stability of the solution and the effect of the input function on the stability have been investigated from the physics point of view. For the special case of a discontinuous function at the right hand side of the equation, the solution has been analyzed around the discontinuity points.
