In the present paper, we introduce the fractional Bernstein series solution (FBSS) to solve the fractional diffusion equation, which is a generalization of the classical diffusion equation. The Bernstein polynomial method is a promising one and can be generalized to more complicated problems in fractional partial differential equations. To get the FBSS, we first convert all terms in the problem to matrix forms. Then, the fundamental matrix equation is obtained and thus, the solution is obtained. Two error estimation methods based on a residual correction procedure and the consecutive approximations are incorporated to find the estimate and bound of the absolute error. The perturbation and stability analysis of the method is given. We apply the method to some illustrative examples. The numerical results are compared with the exact solutions and known second-order methods. The outcomes of the numerical examples are very encouraging and show that the FBSS is highly useful in solving fractional partial problems. The results show the accuracy and effectiveness of the method.

Fractional diffusion equations describe an anomalous diffusion on fractals. In this paper, by means of the successive approximation method and other analysis technique, we present a local positive solution to Cauchy problem for a fractional diffusion equation with singular nonlinearity. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense.

The link between fractional differentiation and diffusion equation is used in this paper to propose a solution for the implementation of fractional diffusion equations. These equations permit us to take into account species anomalous diffusion at electrochemical interfaces, thus permitting an accurate modeling of batteries, ultracapacitors, and fuel cells. However, fractional diffusion equations are not addressed in most commercial software dedicated to partial differential equations simulation. The proposed solution is evaluated in an example.

In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of a time-fractional diffusion equation, which is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first order time derivative with a fractional derivative of order α, with 03-α+N-m) , where Δt,N and m are the time step size, the polynomial degree and the regularity of the exact solution, respectively.

Similarity method is employed to solve multiterm time-fractional diffusion equation. The orders of the fractional derivatives belong to the interval(0,1]and are defined in the Caputo sense. We illustrate how the problem is reduced from a multiterm two-variable fractional partial differential equation to a multiterm ordinary fractional differential equation. Power series solution is obtained for the resulting ordinary problem and the convergence of the series solution is discussed. Based on the obtained results, we propose a definition for a multiterm error function with generalized coefficients.

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.

This article investigates the source identification in the fractional diffusion equations, by performing a single measurement of the Cauchy data on the accessible boundary. The main results of this work consist in giving an identifiability result and establishing a local Lipschitz stability result. To solve the inverse problem of identifying fractional sources from such observations, a non-iterative algebraical method based on the Reciprocity Gap functional is proposed.

AbstractIn this article, we study the numerical approximation of a variable coefficient fractional diffusion equation. Using a change of variable, the variable coefficient fractional diffusion equation is transformed into a constant coefficient fractional diffusion equation of the same order. The transformed equation retains the desirable stability property of being an elliptic equation. A spectral approximation scheme is proposed and analyzed for the transformed equation, with error estimates for the approximated solution derived. An approximation to the unknown of the variable coefficient fractional diffusion equation is then obtained by post-processing the computed approximation to the transformed equation. Error estimates are also presented for the approximation to the unknown of the variable coefficient equation with both smooth and non-smooth diffusivity coefficient and right-hand side. Numerical experiments are presented to test the performance of the proposed method.

Different forms of diffusion equations on fractals proposed in the literature are reviewed and critically discussed. Variants of the known fractional diffusion equations are suggested here and worked out analytically. On the basis of these results we conclude that the quest: "what is the form of the diffusion equation on fractals," is still open, but we are possibly close to obtaining a satisfactory answer.
