This paper derives a new operational matrix of the variable-order (VO) time fractional partial derivative involved in anomalous diffusion for shifted Chebyshev polynomials. We then develop an accurate numerical algorithm to solve the 1 + 1 and 2 + 1 VO and constant-order fractional diffusion equation with Dirichlet conditions. The contraction of the present method is based on shifted Chebyshev collocation procedure in combination with the derived shifted Chebyshev operational matrix. The main advantage of the proposed method is to investigate a global approximation for spatial and temporal discretizations, and it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations, which greatly simplifies the solution process. In addition, we analyze the convergence of the present method graphically. Finally, comparisons between the algorithm derived in this paper and the existing algorithms are given, which show that our numerical schemes exhibit better performances than the existing ones.

AbstractIn this paper, a class of fractional diffusion equations with variable coefficients is considered. An accurate and efficient spectral tau technique for solving the fractional diffusion equations numerically is proposed. This method is based upon Chebyshev tau approximation together with Chebyshev operational matrix of Caputo fractional differentiation. Such approach has the advantage of reducing the problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations, which may then be solved by any standard numerical technique. We apply this general method to solve four specific examples. In each of the examples considered, the numerical results show that the proposed method is of high accuracy and is efficient for solving the time-dependent fractional diffusion equations.

In this paper, the maximum principle of variable-order fractional diffusion equations and the estimates of fractional derivatives with higher variable order are investigated. Firstly, we deduce the fractional derivative of a function of higher variable order at an arbitrary point. We also give an estimate of the error. Some important inequalities for fractional derivatives of variable order at arbitrary points and extreme points are presented. Then, the maximum principles of Riesz-Caputo fractional differential equations in terms of the multi-term space-time variable order are proved. Finally, under the initial-boundary value conditions, it is verified via the proposed principle that the solutions are unique, and their continuous dependance holds.

Fractional diffusion equations have recently been applied in various area of engineering. In this paper, a new numerical algorithm for solving the fractional diffusion equations with a variable coefficient is proposed. Based on the collocation technique where the shifted Chebyshev polynomials in time and the sinc functions in space are utilized respectively, the problem is reduced to the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations. The procedure is tested and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is confirmed through the numerical example.

AbstractTwo significant inequalities for generalized time fractional derivatives at extreme points are obtained. Then, we apply the inequalities to establish the maximum principles for multi-term time-space fractional variable-order operators. Finally, we employ the principles to investigate two kinds of diffusion equations involving generalized time-fractional Caputo derivatives and space-fractional Riesz-Caputo derivatives.
