Shandong Univ., Nat. Sci. 45, No. 6, 46-49 (2010).} \itemab Summary: A group of asymmetric difference schemes to approximate the fifth-order dispersive equation are given. Using the schemes, the alternating group method for solving the fifth-order dispersive equation is constructed. The scheme is unconditionally stable, and is directly used on the parallel computer. Numerical experiments show that the method has nearly second-order ratio of convergence in space. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{fifth-order dispersive equation; parallel computation; alternating group method; unconditionally stable} \itemli{} \end
