In the present paper, a novel perspective fundamentally focused on the differential quadrature method using modified cubic B-spline basis functions are going to be applied for obtaining the numerical solutions of the complex modified Korteweg–de Vries (cmKdV) equation. In order to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the present approach, three test problems, that is single solitary wave, interaction of two solitary waves and interaction of three solitary waves will be handled. Furthermore, the maximum error norm [Formula: see text] will be calculated for single solitary wave solutions to measure the efficiency and the accuracy of the present approach. Meanwhile, the three lowest conservation quantities will be calculated and also used to test the efficiency of the method. In addition to these test tools, relative changes of the invariants will be calculated and presented. In the end of these processes, those newly obtained numerical results will be compared with those of some of the published papers. As a conclusion, it can be said that the present approach is an effective and efficient one for solving the cmKdV equation and can also be used for numerical solutions of other problems.
