An efficient numerical scheme based on Lucas polynomials for the study of multidimensional Burgers-type equations

We propose a polynomial-based numerical scheme for solving some important nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). In the proposed technique, the temporal part is discretized by finite difference method together withθ-weighted scheme. Then, for the approximation of spatial part of unknown function and its spatial derivatives, we use a mixed approach based on Lucas and Fibonacci polynomials. With the help of these approximations, we transform the nonlinear partial differential equation to a system of algebraic equations, which can be easily handled. We test the performance of the method on the generalized Burgers–Huxley and Burgers–Fisher equations, and one- and two-dimensional coupled Burgers equations. To compare the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed scheme, we computed L∞ L∞ , L₂ L2 , and root mean square (RMS) error norms. Computations validate that the proposed method produces better results than other numerical methods. We also discussed and confirmed the stability of the technique.
