In this article, we use a multilevel quartic spline quasi-interpolation scheme to solve the one-dimensional nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation which exhibits a large number of physical phenomena. The presented scheme is obtained by using the second-order central divided difference of the spatial derivative to approximate the third-order spatial derivative, and the forward divided difference to approximate the temporal derivative, where the spatial derivative is approximated by the proposed quasi-interpolation operator. Compared to other numerical methods, the main advantages of our scheme are the higher accuracy and lower computational complexity. Meanwhile, the algorithm is very simple and easy to implement. Numerical experiments in this article also show that our scheme is feasible and valid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
