In this paper we consider the long-time behavior of solutions to nonlinear reaction diffusion equations involving L1 data, [Formula: see text] where Ω is a smooth bounded domain and u0, g ∈ L1(Ω). Using a decomposition technique combined with a bootstrap argument we establish some uniform regularity results on the solutions, by which we prove that the solution semigroup generated by the problem above possesses a global attractor [Formula: see text] in L1(Ω). Moreover, we obtain that the attractor is actually invariant, compact in [Formula: see text], q < max {N/(N-1), (2p-2)/p}, and attracts every bounded subset of L1(Ω) in the norm of [Formula: see text], 1 ≤ r < ∞.

AbstractThe fractional derivatives include nonlocal information and thus their calculation requires huge storage and computational cost for long time simulations. We present an efficient and high-order accurate numerical formula to speed up the evaluation of the Caputo fractional derivative based on theL2-1σformula proposed in [A. Alikhanov,J. Comput. Phys., 280 (2015), pp. 424-438], and employing the sum-of-exponentials approximation to the kernel function appeared in the Caputo fractional derivative. Both theoretically and numerically, we prove that while applied to solving time fractional diffusion equations, our scheme not only has unconditional stability and high accuracy but also reduces the storage and computational cost.

Anomalous transport of contaminants in groundwater or porous soil is a research focus in hydrology and soil science for decades. Because fractional diffusion equations can well characterize early breakthrough and heavy tail decay features of contaminant transport process, they have been considered as promising tools to simulate anomalous transport processes in complex media. However, the efficient and accurate computation of fractional diffusion equations is a main task in their applications. In this paper, we introduce a novel numerical method which captures the critical Mittag-Leffler decay feature of subdiffusion in time direction, to solve a class of time fractional diffusion equations. A key advantage of the new method is that it overcomes the critical problem in the application of time fractional differential equations: long-time range computation. To illustrate its efficiency and simplicity, three typical academic examples are presented. Numerical results show a good agreement with the exact solutions.
