    MATLAB Solving a nonlinear PDE with u_tt = 12u_x^2 + ... in MATLAB

    I have the following equation to solve: u_{tt}=12{u_x}^2+12u_{xx}+{u_x}^4+6u_{xx}{u_x}^2+4u_{xxx}u_x+3{u_{xx}}^2+u_{xxxx} I have been told to look into FDM or FEM. My question, is it possible to code something in MATLAB to solve this and if so what is the best method to use and how do I do...
