چکیده
The growing number of applications of fractional derivatives in various fields of science and engineering indicates that there is a significant demand for better mathematical algorithms for models with real objects and processes. Currently, most algorithms are designed for 1D problems due to the memory effect in fractional derivatives. In this work, the 2D fractional subdiffusion problems are solved by an algorithm that couples an adaptive time stepping and adaptive spatial basis selection approach. The proposed algorithm is also used to simulate a subdiffusion-convection equation.

A New Spectral Algorithm for Time-space Fractional Partial Differential Equations with Subdiffusion and Superdiffusion
This paper reports a new spectral collocation algorithm for solving time-space fractional partial differential equations with subdiffusion and superdiffusion. In this scheme we employ the shifted Legendre Gauss-Lobatto collocation scheme and the shifted Chebyshev Gauss-Radau collocation approximations for spatial and temporal discretizations, respectively. We focus on implementing the new algor...

A physical-mathematical approach to anomalous diffusion is based on a generalized diffusion equation containing derivatives of fractional order. In this paper, an anomalous sub-diffusion equation (ASub-DE) is considered. A new implicit numerical method (INM) and two solution techniques for improving the order of convergence of the INM for solving the ASub-DE are proposed. The stability and conv...
متن کاملNumerical approximation of nonlinear fractional differential equations with subdiffusion and superdiffusion
In this paper, we study the time–space fractional order (fractional for simplicity) nonlinear subdiffusion and superdiffusion equations, which can relate the matter flux vector to concentration gradient in the general sense, describing, for example, the phenomena of anomalous diffusion, fractional Brownian motion, and so on. The semi-discrete and fully discrete numerical approximations are both...
متن کاملThe Use of Finite Difference/Element Approaches for Solving the Time-Fractional Subdiffusion Equation
In this paper, two finite difference/element approaches for the time-fractional subdiffusion equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions are developed, in which the time direction is approximated by the fractional linear multistep method and the space direction is approximated by the finite element method. The two methods are unconditionally stable and convergent of order O(τq + hr+1) in the L2...
