Abstract: A Galerkin method for a modified regularized long wave equation is studied using finite elements in space, the Crank‐Nicolson scheme, and the Runge‐Kutta scheme in time. In addition, an extrapolation technique is used to transform a nonlinear system into a linear system in order to improve the time accuracy of this method. A Fourier stability analysis for the method is shown to be marginally stable. Three invariants of motion are investigated. Numerical experiments are presented to check the theoretical study of this method.
