In this paper, a reliable and effective local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) scheme for numerically solving the classical Rosenau–Hyman equation with non-periodic boundary conditions has been proposed. This study employs the third-order nonlinearly stable total variation diminishing Runge–Kutta method and the LDG method, respectively, to discretize the temporal and spatial derivatives. Finally, numerical simulations are performed on various test problems and compared with the exact results as well as results produced by a few other numerical methods, to analyze the reliability and efficiency of the proposed method. The results generated, which validate the expected order of accuracy, are presented through multiple tables. In addition, several graphical representations of the problem are presented to depict the behavior of the solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
