On the Numerical Solutions of a Wave Equation

Mehmet Şenol

Initial value problems, wave equation, perturbation-iteration algorithm, difference schemes, error analysis.

In this paper we have obtained approximate solutions of a wave equation using previously studied method namely perturbation-iteration algorithm (PIA). The results are compared with the first and second order difference scheme solutions by absolute error. In addition, to prove the effectiveness of the method, we have presented some graphics and tables.
