Accelerated nonstandard finite difference method for singularly perturbed Burger-Huxley equations

Abstract

Abstract Objective The main purpose of this paper is to present an accelerated nonstandard finite difference method for solving the singularly perturbed Burger-Huxley equation in order to produce more accurate solutions. Results The quasilinearization technique is used to linearize the nonlinear term. A nonstandard methodology of Mickens procedure is used in the spatial direction and also within the first order temporal direction that construct the first-order finite difference approximation to solve the considered problem numerically. To accelerate the rate of convergence from first to second-order, the Richardson extrapolation technique is applied. Numerical experiments were conducted to support the theoretical results.
