AbstractWe propose the second-order time discretization scheme with the finite-element approximation for the partial integro-differential equations with a weakly singular kernel. The space discretization is based on the finite element method and the time discretization is based on the Crank-Nicolson scheme with a graded mesh. We show the stability of the scheme and obtain the second-order convergence result for the fully discretized scheme.

A finite element method (FEM) for multiterm fractional partial differential equations (MT-FPDEs) is studied for obtaining a numerical solution effectively. The weak formulation for MT-FPDEs and the existence and uniqueness of the weak solutions are obtained by the well-known Lax-Milgram theorem. The Diethelm fractional backward difference method (DFBDM), based on quadrature for the time discretization, and FEM for the spatial discretization have been applied to MT-FPDEs. The stability and convergence for numerical methods are discussed. The numerical examples are given to match well with the main conclusions.
