The present manuscript include, finite difference method and quartic B-spline based differential quadrature method (FDM-DQM) to obtain the numerical solutions for the nonlinear Schr¨odinger (NLS) equation. For this purpose, firstly Schrödinger equation has been converted into coupled real value differential equations and then they have been discretized using special type of classical finite difference method namely, Crank-Nicolson scheme. After that, Rubin and Graves linearization techniques have been utilized and differential quadrature method has been applied. So, partial differential equation turn into algebraic equation system. Next, in order to be able to test the accuracy of the newly hybrid method, the error norms L2 and L? as well as the two lowest invariants I1 and I2 have been calculated. Besides those, the relative changes in those invariants have been given. Finally, the newly obtained numerical results have been compared with some of those available in the literature for similar parameters. This comparison has clearly indicated that the currently utilized method, namely FDM-DQM, is an effective and efficient numerical schemeand allowed us to propose to solve a wide range of nonlinear equations.

The Finite Difference Method and Differential Quadrature Method are used to solve the partial differential equation in Burgers equation. The different number of nodes is used in these methods to investigate the accuracy. The solutions of these methods are compared in terms of accuracy of the numerical solution. C language program have been developed based on the method in order to solve the Burgers equation. The results of this study are compared in terms of convergence as well as accuracy of the numerical solution. Generally, from the numerical results show that the Differential Quadrature Method is better than the Finite Different Method in terms of accuracy and convergence.

Abstract The differential quadrature finite difference method (DQFDM) has been proposed by the author. The finite difference operators are derived by the differential quadrature (DQ). They can be obtained by using the weighting coefficients for DQ discretizations. The derivation is straight and easy. By using different orders or the same order but different grid DQ discretizations for the same derivative or partial derivative, various finite difference operators for the same differential or partial differential operator can be obtained. Finite difference operators for unequally spaced and irregular grids can also be generated through the use of generic differential quadrature (GDQ). The derivation of higher order finite difference operators is also easy. By adopting the same order of approximation to all mathematical terms existing in the problem to be solved, excellent convergence can be obtained due to the consistent approximation. The DQFDM is effective for solving structural mechanics problems. The numerical simulations for solving anisotropic nonuniform plate problems and two-dimensional plane elasticity problems are carried out. Numerical results are presented. They demonstrate the DQFDM.
