A fully discrete space-time finite element method for the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation is developed, in which the discontinuous Galerkin finite element scheme is adopted in the temporal direction and the Galerkin finite element scheme is used in the spatial orientation. By taking advantage of the valuable properties of Radau numerical integration and Lagrange interpolation polynomials at the Radau points of each time subinterval , the well-posedness of the discrete solution is proven. Moreover, the optimal order error estimate in is also considered in detail. Some numerical examples are provided to evaluate the validity and effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
In this paper, we consider the following fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation with the Riesz fractional derivative:
where , , , and are real parameters. Here, is a complex-valued function, and is a given function. The Riesz fractional derivative is defined as follows [1]:
Here, is the left Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative [2]
and is the right Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative
where denotes the Gamma function. When , coincides with the standard Laplace operator.
The fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation was suggested in [3,4]. It can be used to describe the dynamical process in a medium with fractal dispersion [4] and media with a fractal mass dimension [5]. The analytical and closed solutions of the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation cannot be obtained in general. Recently, some numerical methods for the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation have been proposed to analyze the behavior of the solution of the equation. For solving this model, some efficient numerical methods, including finite difference methods [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] and finite element methods [17,18], were developed. Since the Galerkin finite element method can solve differential equations with more complex geometries and has high-order accuracy, numerous researchers considered the finite element method along the spacial direction to solve space fractional differential equations (see [19,20] and the references therein).
The space-time finite element method (STFEM) is a more attractive tool for solving partial differential equations. Its idea was first put forward by scholars such as Nickell, Sackman, and Oden (see [21,22]), and then it was constantly developed and improved. This method treats the time and space variables with a unified Galerkin finite-element framework. It generalizes the finite element scheme of layer-by-layer iteration, which is more flexible in dealing with discontinuous problems on unstructured meshes. It has been successfully applied to solve some partial differential equations with the integer order (see [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31] for more details). Recently, Mustapha [32], Zheng and Zhao [33], Liu et al. [34], Liu et al. [35], Bu et al. [36], Yue et al. [37], and Li et al. [38] developed a finite element scheme for the fractional diffusion equation, fractional diffusion wave equation, linear space fractional PDE, nonlinear fractional reaction diffusion system, multi-term time-space fractional diffusion equation, multi-term time fractional advection–diffusion equations, and fractional wave problems, for which the space-time finite element method was adopted.
To our knowledge, few papers have been published concerning the STFEM for fractional equations. Therefore, this paper aims to generalize the STFEM to the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation (Equation (1)). The existence, uniqueness, and stability of discrete solutions are analyzed based on the Radau numerical integration formula and the advantage of the useful properties of Lagrange interpolating polynomials at the Radau points of each time slab. The optimal order error estimate in is provided under weak restrictions on the space-time meshes. In the future, we will propose an adaptive algorithm based on the present work.
The modulus of the initial value decays to zero as the spatial variable x moves away from the origin in general (e.g., see (57) and (58) in Section 6). Also, for the needs of the error analysis, the infinite interval problem is usually truncated on a finite interval [17,39]. Based on this, we consider the following extended Dirichlet boundary problem:
where is a finite interval, , and is a given function. The Riesz fractional derivative is then given by
where and denote the left Riemann–Liouville and right Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives of the order , respectively:

3. The Fully Discrete Space-Time Finite Element Scheme
Let be a partition of the time domain and , . Let denote the space of continuous and piecewise polynomials of a total degree (where r is a positive integer) concerning a partition of . We associate a partition of and a finite element space to each interval ; that is, we have

Next, we prove the well-posedness of the numerical scheme in Equation (11).
4. Well-Posedness
For a fixed value , we recall the Lagrange polynomials with the set of Radau points on ; that is, we have

In order to take advantage of the positivity of , we choose and take into the scheme in Equation (13). Then, we obtain
Now, we are ready to prove the following result:
Theorem1.

Next, we shall use Lemma 4 to show that the map , which is defined by

Note that if is continuous, then G is continuous on . We take in Equation (15) and sum it from to q to obtain
From Lemma 6, we have
By using the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and the properties of Equation (9), we obtain
where . There also exists a constant such that
Additionally, we can find such that
Let be sufficiently small and satisfy . By combining Equations (16–20) and setting , and in the case where , we obtain
Under Lemma 4, there exists at least one fixed point such that , and existence is now proven.

In the following, C will denote any constant independent of and . It may be different in different places. Next, we analyze the stability of the scheme in Equation (11).
Theorem2.

Therefore, we have
By applying the – space inverse inequality ([44], page 29)
to Equation (32), the desired result (Equation (22)) is proven completely. □
5. Error Estimate
This section will analyze the error of the fully discrete space-time finite element scheme in Equation (11). To accomplish this, we define the elliptic projection operator with the property that
According to Nitsche’s method ([44], page 29), we can obtain the following norm error estimate for the elliptic projection of u:

For the points of , we introduce the usual Lagrange interpolation operator such that
where , is the degree of the polynomial with respect to t in the finite element space . Let , and denote the norm for a space . According to Lemma 7 and [41], the following estimations hold:
Suppose that the exact solution of Equation (2) satisfies the following regularity conditions:
Now, we present our error analysis result for the scheme in Equation (11).
Theorem3.
Let u and U be the solutions of Equations (2) and (11), respectively. Then, we have

Proof.
The error between the finite element solution U and exact solution u is rewritten as
The estimation of is described in Equation (35), and we only need to estimate .
We first have the basic error equation from Equation (11):
We put , where and . By taking the decompositions and , where , Equation (38) is transferred to
Since the exact solution u satisfies Equation (11), and by the definition of , we have the following error equation:

where and .
If , then ; otherwise, . However, according to Lemma 7 and [41], we have

According to Equation (9) and the Cauchy–Schwarz and Young inequalities, we have
It follows from Equations (41–43) that
In addition, we have
By taking the real part of Equation (44) and combining Equations (45–47), we obtain
where
In order to obtain the estimation of , we take , where and in Equation (40). After multiplying both sides of the equation by and then summing k from 1 to q, we have
Let . Similarly, it holds that
From Equation (29), and for sufficiently small values, we obtain
By observing Equations (48) and (51), the following inequality is obtained:
Iterating Equation (52) n times implies
By substituting Equation (53) into Equation (51), we find
By using the inverse inequality in Equation (33), we obtain
From Equation (35) for the estimation of , the desired result (Equation (36)) follows. Equation (37) can be found through a similar process. □
6. Numerical Tests
In this section, some numerical results are provided to evaluate the effectiveness of the fully discrete space-time finite element scheme in Equation (11) for the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation.
First, we consider the numerical accuracy of the proposed scheme for the integer-order Ginzburg–Landau equation (). In this case, the exact solution of the equation exists, and it is precisely given by [45]
where
We take
and , here. We can see that the modulus of the initial value
asymptotically equals zero as . Thus, can be negligible outside , and we can set for and . The finite element space is composed of linear piecewise polynomials in both the temporal and spatial directions. We make the space step size sufficiently small, and then the error is defined by
For a fixed value, let and stand for two different time steps. Then, we have the convergence rate in time
To find the accuracy for the space, we fix the time step size to . Then, the error is defined by
If and are the different space steps, then the convergence rate in space is
The results are all listed in Table 1. This table shows that the scheme has almost second-order accuracy in the temporal and spatial directions. The presented numerical results support the validity of the fully discrete space-time finite element scheme (Equation (11)).
When , it is difficult to obtain the exact solution explicitly, so we use the numerical solution obtained with a smaller step size and instead of the exact solution for different values of to check the accuracy of the scheme. We consider the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation with the following initial condition:
It is evident that decays to zero with the spatial variable x away from the origin. By setting , and , the error in both the temporal and spatial directions is as follows:
Here, we always use . By denoting , then the convergence rate is
The numerical results are listed in Table 2. It shows that the scheme has second-order accuracy in space and time, further indicating our proposed scheme’s effectiveness and reliability.
Secondly, there is the dissipative mechanism of the fractional Laplacian. We take the initial condition to be as in Equation (58) and set , . The profiles of the numerical solutions at with different values for are given in Figure 1. We can see that the wave shape changed with the values of . The changing trend is consistent with that in [7].
Thirdly, we focus on the influence of the parameter for wave shape evolution in fractional cases. We choose , and and then set to compute the numerical solution to . In this case, we choose . Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 present the numerical solutions. The figures show that the parameter affects the wave shape of the solutions dramatically. If , then the solution decays and it increases when . These results are promising and in agreement with the results in [7,17,46].
Fourth, we pay attention to the inviscid limit behavior of the discrete solution. According to [47], we know that the solution of the equation converges to the solution of the fractional Schrödinger equation (i.e., ). Here we choose and then make and smaller and smaller to observe the asymptotics for different values of . From Figure 5, we see that the results are in accordance with the results in [7,47].
Finally, we construct two experiments to show that the fully discrete space-time finite element solutions may be discontinuous at different time nodes. We use the same parameters as those in Equation (56) ( and for ). By setting and for the two cases, the modules of the jump of the discrete solution at time nodes are shown in Figure 6. From this, we can see that the discrete solutions are discontinuous at some time nodes.
7. Conclusions
This paper extends the space-time finite element method to the fractional Ginzurg–Landau equation. The presented method is a fully discrete Galerkin finite element method that solves the equation with the unified finite-element framework in both the temporal and spatial directions. This is more flexible for dealing with discontinuous problems because our finite element scheme permits discontinuity in time. The well-posedness and error estimate of the discrete solution are proven under weak restriction on the space-time mesh, which only demands that the time step be small enough. The numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the space-time finite element method for the equation.
When the equation admits solutions that form singularities in finite time, appropriate adaptive methods seem to be a good choice. One reason for considering the discontinuous space-time finite element method is the need for flexible schemes suitable for computation on unstructured meshes. In this work, we have illustrated the availability of the discontinuous Galerkin method to the fractional Ginzurg–Landau equation. This provides a guarantee for our forthcoming work to design adaptive algorithms.
