Time-fractional partial differential equation is widely applied in a variety of disciplines, its numerical solution has attracted much attention from researchers in recent years. Time-fractional differential equations with interfaces is a more challenging problem because the governing equation has discontinuous coefficients at interfaces and sometimes singular source term exists. In this paper, we propose a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method for solving the two-dimensional time-fractional diffusion equation with interfaces. In this method, a finite difference scheme is employed in time and a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method is employed in space. Extensive numerical experiments show that for a fractional diffusion equation of order $\alpha$ with interfaces, our method gets to $(2-\alpha)$-order accurate in the $L^2$ and $L^{\infty}$ norm.

Regularized Optimization

We study a backward problem for a time-fractional diffusion equation, which is formulated into a regularized optimization problem. After solving a sequence of well-posed direct problems by the finite element method, a directly numerical algorithm is proposed for solving the regularized optimization problem. In order to obtain a reasonable regularization solution, we utilize the discrepancy principle with decreasing geometric sequence to choose regularization parameters. One- and two-dimensional examples are given to verify the efficiency and stability of the proposed method.

Element Method

Classical finite element method (FEM) has been applied to solve some fractional differential equations, but its scheme has too many degrees of freedom. In this paper, a low-dimensional FEM, whose number of basis functions is reduced by the theory of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique, is proposed for the time fractional diffusion equation in two-dimensional space. The presented method has the properties of low dimensions and high accuracy so that the amount of computation is decreased and the calculation time is saved. Moreover, error estimation of the method is obtained. Numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the low-dimensional FEM in comparison with traditional FEM for the time fractional differential equations.
