Abstract

In the study, the collocation method based on exponential cubic B-spline functions is proposed to solve one-dimensional Boussinesq systems numerically. Two initial boundary value problems for Regularized and Classical Boussinesq systems modeling motion of traveling waves are considered. The accuracy of the method is validated by measuring the error between the numerical and analytical solutions. The numerical solutions obtained by various values of free parameter \({\zeta}\) are compared with some solutions in literature. Numerical behavior of solitary waves under small perturbations is also studied.
