An efficient nonpolynomial spline method for distributed order fractional subdiffusion equations

In this paper, we propose an efficient numerical method for a distributed order fractional subdiffusion problem using nonpolynomial spline approach. The solvability, stability, and convergence of the scheme are established rigorously, and it is shown that the spatial convergence order improves some previous work done. Simulation is then conducted to verify the accuracy of the proposed scheme as well as to compare with earlier work.
