Abstract In this paper, the Differential Transformation Method (DTM) has been applied to find the exact solution of the improved Boussinesq equation by means of the known forms of the series solutions. In addition, a numerical test is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. The results prove that the DTM is one of the powerful techniques for linear and nonlinear equations. Keywords Improved Boussinesq Equation; Method; Spectral Methods

Introduction In the present work, we are dealing with the numerical approximation of the following second-order problem that, one of the important partial differential equations that commonly arise in problems of mathematical physics: utt − u xx − uu xx − ( u x ) − u xxtt = 0, 2
0 < x < L, 0 < t ≤ T ,

Our approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations by expanding the approximate solution as a arbitrary function with unknown coefficients. The linear case of Boussinesq equation was discussed by Whitham (Whitham 1974) and Zwillinger (Zwillinger 1997). Moreover the nonlinear Boussinesq equation has been discussed in (Zwillinger 1997; Calogero1982)and the modified Boussinesq equation has been derived in (Zwillinger 1997; Clarkson 1986). In (Bratsos 2007), a predictor corrector (P-C) scheme is applied successfully to a nonlinear Boussinesq equation. Authors of (Wang 2008) discussed the improved and generalized Boussinesq equation and some other schemes are presented in (Yildirim 2011; Sariaydin 2010). The concept of the DTM was first proposed by Zhou (Zhou 1986), who solved linear and nonlinear problems 12
in electrical circuit problems. Chen and Ho (Chen 1999) developed this method for partial differential equations and Ayaz (Ayaz 2004) applied it to the system of differential equations. During recent years this method has been used to solve various types of equations. For example, this method has been used for differential algebraic equations (Cole 1951), partial differential equations (Chen 1999; Jang2001; Kangalgil 2009) fractional differential equations (Arikoglu 2007; Tari 2009) and Difference equations (Arikoglu 2006). In (Soltanalizadeh 2011a; Soltanalizadeh 2011b; Soltanalizadeh 2012; Soltanalizadeh 2011c), this method has been utilized for Telegraph, KuramotoSivashinsky, RLW and Kawahara equations. S. Shahmorad et al. developed DTM to fractional-order integro-differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions (Nazari 2010) and class of two-dimensional Volterra integral equations (Tari 2009). Abazari et. al. applied this method for Burgers (Abazari 2010) equation. Similar problems can be found in (Soltanalizadeh 2011; Ghehsareh 2011). The Definitions and Operations of DT The One-dimensional Differential Transform The basic definitions and operations of onedimensional DT are introduced in (Zhou 1986; Chen 1999; Ayaz 2004) as follows: Definition 2.1 If u (t ) is analytic in the time domain T then d k u (t ) (2) = φ (t , k ), ∀t ∈ T . dt k for t = ti , φ (t , k ) = φ (ti , k ), where k belongs to the
non-negative integer, denoted as the K Therefore, Eq. ((2)) can be rewritten as d k u (t ) U i (k ) = φ (ti , k ) = [ ]t = t , ∀t ∈ T . i dt k
