Abstract

In this paper, we present a Legendre Petrov-Galekin method for one-dimensional linear fourth-order differential equations. A Legendre Petrov-Galerkin and Chebyshev collocation method is developed for the nonlinear Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed schemes, and optimal rates of convergence in the L^2-norm are rigorously derived.
