Solitary wave motion, interaction of two and three solitary waves and the development of the Maxwellian initial condition into solitary waves are studied using the proposed method. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are tested by calculating the numerical conserved laws and error norms L-2 and L-infinity. The obtained results show that the method is an effective numerical scheme to solve the MRLW equation. In addition, a linear stability analysis of the scheme is found to be unconditionally stable.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMRLW equationFinite element methodSubdomainQuartic B-SplinesSolitary wavesArticle32231244WOS:000218995000011N/A
