Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a stable and efficient numerical technique based on modified trigonometric cubic B-spline functions for solving the time-fractional diffusion equation (TFDE). The TFDE has numerous applications to model many real objects and processes. Design/methodology/approach The time-fractional derivative is used in the Caputo sense. A modification is made in trigonometric cubic B-spline (TCB) functions for handling the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The modified TCB functions have been used to discretize the space derivatives. The stability of the technique is also discussed. Findings The obtained results are compared with those reported earlier showing that the present technique gives highly accurate results. The stability analysis shows that the method is unconditionally stable. Furthermore, this technique is efficient and requires less storage. Originality/value The current work is novel for solving TFDE. This technique is unconditionally stable and gives better results than existing results (Ford et al., 2011; Sayevand et al., 2016; Ghanbari and Atangana, 2020).

Purpose This paper aims to present an interpolating element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method for the numerical study of the time-fractional diffusion equation, and then discuss the stability and convergence of the numerical solutions. Design/methodology/approach In the time-fractional diffusion equation, the time fractional derivatives are approximated by L1 method, and the shape functions are constructed by the interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method. The final system equations are obtained by using the Galerkin weak form. Because the shape functions have the interpolating property, the unknowns can be solved by the iterative method after imposing the essential boundary condition directly. Findings Both theoretical and numerical results show that the IEFG method for the time-fractional diffusion equation has high accuracy. The stability of the fully discrete scheme of the method on the time step is stable unconditionally with a high convergence rate. Originality/value This work will provide an interpolating meshless method to study the numerical solutions of the time-fractional diffusion equation using the IEFG method.

The One

In this paper, two compact implicit finite difference methods are developed and analyzed for solving the one-dimensional time fractional diffusion equation. The temporal derivative is approximated by using Grünwald–Letnikov formula. Compact finite difference approximation is used for the second-order derivative in space. The local truncation errors are discussed. The stability analysis and the convergence of the proposed methods are investigated by means of Fourier series method. A comparison between the results of these methods and the exact solution is made. Numerical tests are given to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the methods.

In this paper, a new compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) difference scheme is proposed for the solution of two dimensional time fractional diffusion equation. Theoretical considerations are discussed. We show that the proposed method is fourth order accurate in space and two order accurate in time. The stability and convergence of the compact ADI method are presented by the Fourier analysis method. Numerical examples confirm the theoretical results and high accuracy of the proposed scheme.

The numerical solution for a time-fractional diffusion equation supplemented with initial and boundary conditions is considered. The scheme is based on the Galerkin finite element method. The uniform space discretization is applied to study the stability of the solution of the problem within our approach. An analytically solvable example is presented to make a comparison between the exact solution and our numerical solution. By presenting the absolute error with different step-sizes and different values for time-fractional derivative, reliability and efficiency of our proposed numerical method is manifested.
