A note on parallel preconditioning for the all-at-once solution of Riesz fractional diffusion equations
The -step backwards difference formula (BDF) for solving the system of
ODEs can result in a kind of all-at-once linear systems, which are solved via
the parallel-in-time preconditioned Krylov subspace solvers (see McDonald,
Pestana, and Wathen [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 40(2) (2018): A1012-A1033] and Lin
and Ng [arXiv:2002.01108, 17 pages]. However, these studies ignored that the
-step BDF () is not selfstarting, when they are exploited to solve
time-dependent PDEs. In this note, we focus on the 2-step BDF which is often
superior to the trapezoidal rule for solving the Riesz fractional diffusion
equations, but its resultant all-at-once discretized system is a block
triangular Toeplitz system with a low-rank perturbation. Meanwhile, we first
give an estimation of the condition number of the all-at-once systems and then
adapt the previous work to construct two block circulant (BC) preconditioners.
Both the invertibility of these two BC preconditioners and the eigenvalue
distributions of preconditioned matrices are discussed in details. The
efficient implementation of these BC preconditioners is also presented
especially for handling the computation of dense structured Jacobi matrices.
Finally, numerical experiments involving both the one- and two-dimensional
Riesz fractional diffusion equations are reported to support our theoretical
findings.Comment: 18 pages. 2 figures. 6 Table. Tech. Rep.: Institute of Mathematics,

A Finite Element Method for the Multiterm Time-Space Riesz Fractional Advection-Diffusion Equations in Finite Domain
We present an effective finite element method (FEM) for the multiterm time-space Riesz fractional advection-diffusion equations (MT-TS-RFADEs). We obtain the weak formulation of MT-TS-RFADEs and prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solution by the Lax-Milgram theorem. For multiterm time discretization, we use the Diethelm fractional backward finite difference method based on quadrature. For spatial
discretization, we show the details of an FEM for such MT-TS-RFADEs. Then, stability and convergence of such numerical method are proved, and some numerical examples are given to match well with the main conclusions
Numerical methods for solving space fractional partial differential equations by using Hadamard finite-part integral approach
We introduce a novel numerical method for solving two-sided space fractional partial differential equation in two dimensional case. The approximation of the space fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative is based on the approximation of the Hadamard finite-part integral which has the convergence order , where is the space step size and is the order of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. Based on this scheme, we introduce a shifted finite difference method for solving space fractional partial differential equation. We obtained the error estimates with the convergence orders , where is the time step size and is a parameter which measures the smoothness of the fractional derivatives of the solution of the equation. Unlike the numerical methods for solving space fractional partial differential equation constructed by using the standard shifted Gr\"unwald-Letnikov formula or higher order Lubich'e methods which require the solution of the equation satisfies the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in order to get the first order convergence, the numerical method for solving space fractional partial differential equation constructed by using Hadamard finite-part integral approach does not require the solution of the equation satisfies the Dirichlet homogeneous boundary condition. Numerical results show that the experimentally determined convergence order obtained by using the Hadamard finite-part integral approach for solving space fractional partial differential equation with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is indeed higher than the convergence order obtained by using the numerical methods constructed with the standard shifted Gr\"unwald-Letnikov formula or Lubich's higer order approximation schemes
