High-order Compact Difference Schemes for the Modified Anomalous Subdiffusion Equation
In this paper, two kinds of high-order compact finite difference schemes for
second-order derivative are developed. Then a second-order numerical scheme for
Riemann-Liouvile derivative is established based on fractional center
difference operator. We apply these methods to fractional anomalous
subdiffusion equation to construct two kinds of novel numerical schemes. The
solvability, stability and convergence analysis of these difference schemes are
studied by Fourier method in details. The convergence orders of these numerical
schemes are and ,
respectively. Finally, numerical experiments are displayed which are in line
with the theoretical analysis.Comment:
Numerical methods for time-fractional evolution equations with nonsmooth data: a concise overview
Over the past few decades, there has been substantial interest in evolution
equations that involving a fractional-order derivative of order
in time, due to their many successful applications in
engineering, physics, biology and finance. Thus, it is of paramount importance
to develop and to analyze efficient and accurate numerical methods for reliably
simulating such models, and the literature on the topic is vast and fast
growing. The present paper gives a concise overview on numerical schemes for
the subdiffusion model with nonsmooth problem data, which are important for the
numerical analysis of many problems arising in optimal control, inverse
problems and stochastic analysis. We focus on the following aspects of the
subdiffusion model: regularity theory, Galerkin finite element discretization
in space, time-stepping schemes (including convolution quadrature and L1 type
schemes), and space-time variational formulations, and compare the results with
that for standard parabolic problems. Further, these aspects are showcased with
illustrative numerical experiments and complemented with perspectives and
pointers to relevant literature.Comment: 24 pages, 3 figure
Correction of high-order BDF convolution quadrature for fractional evolution equations
We develop proper correction formulas at the starting steps to restore
the desired -order convergence rate of the -step BDF convolution
quadrature for discretizing evolution equations involving a fractional-order
derivative in time. The desired -order convergence rate can be
achieved even if the source term is not compatible with the initial data, which
is allowed to be nonsmooth. We provide complete error estimates for the
subdiffusion case , and sketch the proof for the
diffusion-wave case . Extensive numerical examples are provided
to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.Comment: 22 pages, 3 figure
