Abstract

An accurate and hybrid matrix technique is proposed for numerical treatments of a class of nonlinear parabolic PDEs occurring in the modeling of oil pollution in water. Using the Taylor series formula, the time variable is discretized, which converts the nonlinear model into a sequence of linearized problems continuous with respect to spatial variable. Then, a spectral collocation procedure based on novel shifted Morgan-Voyce (SMV) is applied to solve the resulting discretized equation at each time step yielding a linear algebraic system of equations. A rigorous error analysis shows that the proposed approach is uniformly convergent of order \(\mathcal {O}(\Delta \tau ^2+N^{-2})\), where \(\Delta \tau \) is the time step and N is the number of SMV basis. Three test examples including Allen–Cahn and Newell–Whitehead equations are provided to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the presented hybrid collocation algorithm. The validation of the proposed approach is shown by comparison with available existing numerical solutions.
