A class of finite difference schemes for solving a fractional anti-diffusive equation, recently proposed by Andrew C. Fowler to describe the dynamics of dunes, is considered. Their linear stability is analyzed using the standard Von Neumann analysis: stability criteria are found and checked numerically. Moreover, we investigate the consistency and convergence of these schemes.

In this paper, we present a finite difference scheme for a class of time fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficient, where the fractional derivative is defined by the Caputo derivative. The present algorithm is unconditionally stable, and possess spatial sixth order and temporal 2 − α order accuracy, which is an improvement of the spatial fourth order accuracy in the existing resul...

Variable-order fractional diffusion equation model is a recently developed and promising approach to characterize time-dependent or concentration-dependent anomalous diffusion, or diffusion process in inhomogeneous porous media. To further study the properties of variableorder time fractional subdiffusion equation models, the efficient numerical schemes are urgently needed. This paper investiga...

Fractional order partial differential equations, as generalizations of classical integer order partial differential equations, are increasingly used to model problems in fluid flow, finance and other areas of application. In this paper we discuss a practical alternating directions implicit method to solve a class of two-dimensional initial-boundary value fractional partial differential equation...

The Cable equation has been one of the most fundamental equations for modeling neuronal dynamics. In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of the fractional Cable equation, which is a generalization of the classical Cable equation by taking into account the anomalous diffusion in the movement of the ions in neuronal system. A schema combining a finite difference approach in the time di...
