Space Fractional Diffusion Equation

We consider finite element Galerkin solutions for the space fractional diffusion equation with a nonlinear source term. Existence, stability, and order of convergence of approximate solutions for the backward Euler fully discrete scheme have been discussed as well as for the semidiscrete scheme. The analytical convergent orders are obtained asO(k+hγ˜), whereγ˜is a constant depending on the order of fractional derivative. Numerical computations are presented, which confirm the theoretical results when the equation has a linear source term. When the equation has a nonlinear source term, numerical results show that the diffusivity depends on the order of fractional derivative as we expect.

Space Fractional Diffusion Equation

We construct the numerical method of the space fractional diffusion equation in this paper. We propose an efficient method for its numerical solution. This method is based on a finite difference in time and finite element method in space. Convergence of the method is rigorously established. A series of numerical examples are provided to support the theoretical claims.

A collocation finite element method for solving fractional diffusion equation for force-free case is considered. In this paper, we develop an approximation method based on collocation finite elements by cubic B-spline functions to solve fractional diffusion equation for force-free case formulated with Riemann-Liouville operator. Some numerical examples of interest are provided to show the accuracy of the method. A comparison between exact analytical solution and a numerical one has been made.
