摘要

In this paper, numerical solutions of the Rosenau-RLW equation are considered using Crank-Nicolson type finite difference method. Existence of the numerical solutions is derived by Brouwer fixed point theorem. A priori bound and the error estimates as well as conservation of discrete mass and discrete energy for the finite difference solutions are discussed. Unconditional stability, second-order convergence and uniqueness of the scheme are proved using discrete energy method. Some numerical experiments have been conducted in order to verify the theoretical results.
