<abstract><p>In this paper, a new modified hybrid explicit group (MHEG) iterative method is presented for the efficient and accurate numerical solution of a time-fractional diffusion equation in two space dimensions. The time fractional derivative is defined in the Caputo sense. In the proposed method, a Laplace transformation is used in the temporal domain, and, for the spatial discretization, a new finite difference scheme based on grouping strategy is considered. The unique solvability, unconditional stability and convergence are thoroughly proved by the matrix analysis method. Comparison of numerical results with analytical and other approximate solutions indicates the viability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.</p></abstract>

Abstract:We consider the initial value problem of the time fractional diffusion equation on the whole line and the fractional derivative is described in Caputo sense. A fully discrete Hermite pseudospectral approximation scheme is structured basing Hermite-Gauss points in space and finite difference in time. Unconditionally stability and convergence are proved. Numerical experiments are presented and the results conform to our theoretical analysis.

<p>Anomalous diffusion and non-exponential relaxation patterns can be described by a space - time fractional diffusion equation. This paper aims to present a Pade approximation for Mittag-Leffler function mixed finite difference method to develop a numerical method to obtain an approximate solution for the space and time fractional diffusion equation. The truncation error of the method is theoretically analyzed. It is proved that the numerical proposed method is unconditionally stable from the matrix analysis point of view. Finally, some numerical results are given, which demonstrate the efficiency of the approximate scheme.</p>

AbstractWe consider difference schemes for the time-fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficients and nonlocal boundary conditions containing real parameters α, β and γ. By the method of energy inequalities, for the solution of the difference problem, we obtain a priori estimates, which imply the stability and convergence of these difference schemes. The obtained results are supported by the numerical calculations carried out for some test problems.

Purpose This paper aims to present an interpolating element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method for the numerical study of the time-fractional diffusion equation, and then discuss the stability and convergence of the numerical solutions. Design/methodology/approach In the time-fractional diffusion equation, the time fractional derivatives are approximated by L1 method, and the shape functions are constructed by the interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method. The final system equations are obtained by using the Galerkin weak form. Because the shape functions have the interpolating property, the unknowns can be solved by the iterative method after imposing the essential boundary condition directly. Findings Both theoretical and numerical results show that the IEFG method for the time-fractional diffusion equation has high accuracy. The stability of the fully discrete scheme of the method on the time step is stable unconditionally with a high convergence rate. Originality/value This work will provide an interpolating meshless method to study the numerical solutions of the time-fractional diffusion equation using the IEFG method.

AbstractThis paper deals with numerical solution to the multi-term time fractional diffusion equation in a finite domain. An implicit finite difference scheme is established based on Caputo's definition to the fractional derivatives, and the upper and lower bounds to the spectral radius of the coefficient matrix of the difference scheme are estimated, with which the unconditional stability and convergence are proved. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis, and the method and technique can also be applied to other kinds of time/space fractional diffusion equations.
