Abstract

The sine-Gordon equation plays an important role in modern physics. By using spline function approximation, two implicit finite difference schemes are developed for the numerical solution of one-dimensional sine-Gordon equation. Stability analysis of the method has been given. It has been shown that by choosing the parameters suitably, we can obtain two schemes of orders $\mathcal{O}(k^{2}+k^{2}h^{2}+h^{2})$ and $\mathcal{O}(k^{2}+k^{2}h^{2}+h^{4})$ . At the end, some numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
