Analytical and numerical solutions to the Klein–Gordon model with cubic nonlinearity

Abstract

In this paper, the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation’s exact solutions are obtained through the application of an appropriate transformation based on He’s semi-inverse approach. This equation considered a generalization of other famous models in applied science, such as Phi-4 equation, Duffing equation, Fisher–Kolmogorov model through population dynamics and Hodgkin–Huxley equation that characterizes the propagation of electrical signals via nervous system. The suggested approach is simple, robust, and efficient, and its application in other partial differential equations in applied science seems promising. Numerical solution of the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation is presented using finite difference method. The method’s accuracy is demonstrated by contrasting it with the exact solution that we obtained. The Von Neumann stability technique is applied to obtain the stability condition and a convergent test is presented Some 2D and 3D graphs matching to chosen solutions are simulated by taking into account appropriate values for the parameters.
