Abstract: A local discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method is proposed for solving three types of partial differential equations with second, third and fourth order derivatives, respectively. They are Burgers type equations, KdV type equations and bi-harmonic type equations. The method extends discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method for conservation laws by rewriting corresponding equations into a first order system and solving the system instead of the original equation. The method has a fourth order accuracy and maintains advantages of discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method. Numerical simulations verify that the method reaches optimal convergence order and simulates well complex wave interaction such as soliton propagation and collision.

Key words: KdV type equation, bi-harmonic equation, local discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin method, soliton evolution
