Fractional order partial differential equations are generalizations of classical partial differential equations. Increasingly, these models are used in applications such as fluid flow, finance and others. In this paper we examine some practical numerical methods to solve a class of initial- boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. S...

This paper deals with the study of fractional bioheat equation for heat transfer in skin tissue with sinusoidal heat flux condition on skin surface.

The effect of anomalous diffusion in skin tissue has been studied with different frequency and blood perfusion respectively, the temperature profile are obtained for different ord...

Fractional derivative relaxation type equations (FREs) including fractional diffusion equation and fractional relaxation equation, have been widely used to describe anomalous phenomena in physics. To utilize the characteristics of fractional dynamic systems, this paper proposes a scale-dependent finite difference method (S-FDM) in which the non-uniform mesh depends on the time fractional deriva...

Fractional order diffusion equations are generalizations of classical diffusion equations which are used to model in physics, finance, engineering, etc. In this paper we present an implicit difference approximation by using the alternating directions implicit (ADI) approach to solve the two-dimensional space-time fractional diffusion equation (2DSTFDE) on a finite domain. Consistency, unconditi...

In this paper, we consider a Riesz space-fractional reaction-dispersion equation (RSFRDE). The RSFRDE is obtained from the classical reaction-dispersion equation by replacing the second-order space derivative with a Riesz derivative of order β ∈ (1,2]. We propose an implicit finite difference approximation for RSFRDE. The stability and convergence of the finite difference approximations are ana...

This 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 converge...
