In this paper, we consider a Robin problem for a viscoelastic wave equation. First, by the high-order iterative method coupled with the Galerkin method, the existence of a recurrent sequence via an N -order iterative scheme is established, and then the N -order convergent rate of the obtained sequence to the unique weak solution of the proposed model is also proved. Next, with N = 2 , a numerical algorithm given by the finite-difference method is constructed to approximate the solution via the 2-order iterative scheme. Moreover, the same algorithm for the single-iterative scheme generated by the 2-order iterative scheme is also considered. Finally, comparison with errors of the numerical solutions obtained by the single-iterative scheme and the 2-order iterative scheme shows that the convergent rate of the 2-order iterative scheme is faster than that of the single-iterative scheme.

In this paper, by applying the Faedo-Galerkin approximation method and using basic concepts of nonlinear analysis, we study the initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation with Robin–Dirichlet conditions. It consists of two main parts. Part 1 is devoted to proof of the unique existence of a weak solution by establishing an approximate sequence u m based on a N -order iterative scheme in case of f ∈ C N 0,1 × 0 , T ∗ × ℝ N ≥ 2 , or a single-iterative scheme in case of f ∈ C 1 Ω ¯ × 0 , T ∗ × ℝ . In Part 2, we begin with the construction of a difference scheme to approximate u m of the N -order iterative scheme, with N = 2 . Next, we present numerical results in detail to show that the convergence rate of the 2-order iterative scheme is faster than that of the single-iterative scheme.
