An adaptive mesh refinement method for nonlinear dispersive wave equations. (English) Zbl 0756.65140

A new method for spatial grid refinement is developed. It is simple to implement and the stability of the numerical methods is affected minimally. The method is compared with results obtained using a uniform grid.
