A note on fourth-order time stepping for stiff PDE via spectral method

TLDR
In this article, the authors used the exponential time differencing Runge-Kutta 4 method (ETDRK4) to solve the diagonal example of a well known nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) in the form of Burgers' equation.
Abstract
In this note it is illustrated that the Exponential Time Differencing (ETD) scheme needs the least steps to achieve a given accuracy, offers a speedy method in calculation time, and has exceptional stability properties in solving a stiff type problem. Nonetheless, the celebrated and well established method like RungeKutta is still being applied as the basis of many efficient codes. However, the stiff type problems seem cannot be solved efficiently via some of these methods. This note overcomes such stiff type problem via the exponential method. Furthermore, the exponential time differencing Runge-Kutta 4 method (ETDRK4) is used to solve the diagonal example of a well known nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) in the form of Burgers’ equation. In addition, we use Fourier transformation for solving Burgers’ equation. Mathematics Subject Classification: 65M70, 65Z05
