Abstract
A predictor–corrector (P–C) scheme based on the use of rational approximants of second‐order to the matrix‐exponential term in a three‐time level reccurence relation is applied to the nonlinear Klein‐Gordon equation. This scheme is accelerated by using a modification (MPC) in which the already evaluated values are used for the corrector. Both the predictor and the corrector scheme are analyzed for local truncation error and stability. The proposed method is applied to problems possessing periodic, kinks and single, double‐soliton waves. The accuracy as well as the long time behavior of the proposed scheme is discussed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2009

## Abstract The transmission line matrix (TLM) method has become well established as a numerical solution scheme for wave problems in electromagnetics and, to a lesser extent, in acoustics and mechanics. It has also been applied to diffusion/heat‐conduction problems. Here the technique is extended
## Abstract In Part I, two TLM‐based solutions were presented for the Klein–Gordon Equation in its basic form, with the TLM pulses representing the primary variable. In Part II, two further approaches are presented in which the TLM pulses now represent derivatives of the primary variable, with resp
