Abstract
Based on the spatial compact finite difference (SCFD) method, an improved high-order temporal accuracy scheme for high-dimensional time-fractional diffusion equations (TFDEs) is presented in this work. Combining the temporal piecewise quadratic interpolation and the high-dimensional SCFD method, the proposed numerical method is described. [...] Read more.
Based on the spatial compact finite difference (SCFD) method, an improved high-order temporal accuracy scheme for high-dimensional time-fractional diffusion equations (TFDEs) is presented in this work. Combining the temporal piecewise quadratic interpolation and the high-dimensional SCFD method, the proposed numerical method is described. In order to establish the stability and convergence analysis, we introduce a norm ||·||H˜1, which is rigorously proved equivalent to the standard H1-norm. Considering that the coefficients of high-order numerical schemes are not entirely positive, we introduce an appropriate parameter to transform the numerical scheme into an equivalent form with positive coefficients. Based on the equivalent form, we prove that the temporal and spatial convergence orders are (3γ) and 4 by applying the convergence of geometric progression. The proposed scheme ensures that the theoretical convergence accuracy at each time step is of order (3γ) without requiring any additional processing techniques. Ultimately, the convergence of the proposed high-order accurate scheme is verified through numerical experiments involving (non-)linear high-dimensional TFDEs. Full article

In this paper, a new L2 (NL2) scheme is proposed to approximate the Caputo temporal fractional derivative, leading to a time-stepping scheme for the time-fractional diffusion equation (TFDE). Subsequently, the space derivative of the resulting system is discretized using a specific finite difference method, yielding a fully discrete system. We then establish the H1-norm stability and convergence of the time-stepping scheme on uniform meshes for the TFDE. In particular, we prove that the proposed scheme has (3α)th-order accuracy, where α (0<α<1) is the order of the time-fractional derivative. Finally, numerical experiments for several test problems are carried out to validate the obtained theoretical results. Full article

This study aims to present and apply an effective algorithm for solving the TFDE (Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation). The Chebyshev cardinal polynomials and the operational matrix for fractional derivatives based on these bases are relied on as crucial tools to achieve this objective. By employing the pseudospectral method, the equation is transformed into an algebraic linear system. Consequently, solving this system using the GMRES method (Generalized Minimal Residual) results in obtaining the solution to the TFDE. The results obtained are very accurate, and in certain instances, the exact solution is achieved. By solving some numerical examples, the proposed method is shown to be effective and yield superior outcomes compared to existing methods for addressing this problem. Full article

As a model that possesses both the potentialities of Caputo time fractional diffusion equation (Caputo-TFDE) and symmetric two-sided space fractional diffusion equation (Riesz-SFDE), time-space fractional diffusion equation (TSFDE) is widely applied in scientific and engineering fields to model anomalous diffusion phenomena including subdiffusion and superdiffusion. Due to the fact that fractional operators act on both temporal and spatial derivative terms in TSFDE, efficient solving for TSFDE is important, where the key is solving the corresponding discrete system efficiently. In this paper, we derive a Galerkin–Legendre spectral all-at-once system from the TSFDE, and then we develop a preconditioner to solve this system. Symmetry property of the coefficient matrix in this all-at-once system is destroyed so that the deduced all-at-once system is more convenient for parallel computing than the traditional timing-step scheme, and the proposed preconditioner can efficiently solve the corresponding all-at-once system from TSFDE with nonsmooth solution. Moreover, some relevant theoretical analyses are provided, and several numerical results are presented to show competitiveness of the proposed method. Full article

We analyze the well-posedness and regularity of a variably distributed-order time-fractional diffusion equation (tFDE) with a hidden-memory fractional derivative, which provide a competitive means to describe the anomalously diffusive transport of particles in heterogeneous media. We prove that the solution of a variably distributed-order tFDE has weak singularity at the initial time t=0 which depends on the upper bound of a distributed order α¯(0). Full article
