In this paper, the space fractional wave equation (SFWE) is numerically studied, where the fractional derivative is defined in the sense of Caputo. An explicit finite difference approximation (EFDA) for SFWE is presented. The stability and the error analysis of the EFDA are discussed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approximated method, some test examples are presented.

We propose a three-level implicit nine point compact finite difference formulation of order two in time and four in space direction, based on nonpolynomial spline in compression approximation in -direction and finite difference approximation in -direction for the numerical solution of one-dimensional wave equation in polar coordinates. We describe the mathematical formulation procedure in detail and also discussed the stability of the method. Numerical results are provided to justify the usefulness of the proposed method.

AbstractWe consider the time fractional wave equation with coefficient which contains the Dirac delta distribution. The existence of generalized solutions of this initial-boundary value problem is proved. An implicit finite difference scheme approximating the problem is developed and its stability is proved. Estimates for the rate of convergence in special discrete energetic Sobolev norms are obtained. A numerical example confirms the theoretical results.

AbstractWe develop a stable finite difference approximation of the three-dimensional viscoelastic wave equation. The material model is a super-imposition of N standard linear solid mechanisms, which commonly is used in seismology to model a material with constant quality factor Q. The proposed scheme discretizes the governing equations in second order displacement formulation using 3N memory variables, making it significantly more memory efficient than the commonly used first order velocity-stress formulation. The new scheme is a generalization of our energy conserving finite difference scheme for the elastic wave equation in second order formulation [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 45 (2007), pp. 1902-1936]. Our main result is a proof that the proposed discretization is energy stable, even in the case of variable material properties. The proof relies on the summation-by-parts property of the discretization. The new scheme is implemented with grid refinement with hanging nodes on the interface. Numerical experiments verify the accuracy and stability of the new scheme. Semi-analytical solutions for a half-space problem and the LOH.3 layer over half-space problem are used to demonstrate how the number of viscoelastic mechanisms and the grid resolution influence the accuracy. We find that three standard linear solid mechanisms usually are sufficient to make the modeling error smaller than the discretization error.

An explicit-finite difference approximation procedure which is unconditionally stable for the solution of the general multidimensional, nonhomogeneous diffusion equation is presented. This method possesses the advantages of the implicit methods, i.e., no severe limitation on the size of the time increment. Also it has the simplicity of the explicit methods and employs the same “marching” type technique of solution. Results obtained by this method for several different problems are compared with the exact solution and with those obtained by other finite-difference methods. For the examples solved the numerical results obtained by the present method are in closer agreement with the exact solution than are those obtained by the other methods.

In this paper we study the time-fractional wave equation of order 1 < ν < 2 and give a probabilistic interpretation of its solution. In the case 0 < ν < 1 , d = 1 , the solution can be interpreted as a time-changed Brownian motion, while for 1 < ν < 2 it coincides with the density of a symmetric stable process of order 2 / ν . We give here an interpretation of the fractional wave equation for d > 1 in terms of laws of stable d−dimensional processes. We give a hint at the case of a fractional wave equation for ν > 2 and also at space-time fractional wave equations.

A finite difference approximation for the Caputo fractional derivative of the 4-?, 1 < ? ? 2 order has been developed. A difference schemes for solving the Dirihlet?s problem of the Poisson?s equation with fractional derivatives has been applied and solved. Both the stability of difference problem in its right-side part and the convergence have been proved. A numerical example was developed by applying both the Liebman and the Monte-Carlo methods.
