Galerkin-FEM for obtaining the numerical solution of the linear fractional Klein-Gordon equation

In this paper, an efficient numerical method for solving the linear fractional Klein-Gordon equation (LFKGE) is introduced. The proposed method depends on the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) using quadratic B-spline base functions and replaces the Caputo fractional derivative using $L2$ discretization formula. The introduced technique reduces LFKGE to a system of algebraic equations, which solved using conjugate gradient method. The study the stability analysis to the approximation obtained by the proposed scheme is given. To test the accuracy of the proposed method we evaluated the error norm $L_{2}$. It is shown that the presented scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical example is given to show the validity and the accuracy of the introduced algorithm.     

High accuracy error estimates of a Galerkin finite element method for nonlinear time fractional diffusion equation

In this work, an effective and fast finite element numerical method with high-order accuracy is discussed for solving a nonlinear time fractional diffusion equation. A two-level linearized finite element scheme is constructed and a temporal–spatial error splitting argument is established to split the error into two parts, that is, the temporal error and the spatial error. Based on the regularity of the time discrete system, the temporal error estimate is derived. Using the property of the Ritz projection operator, the spatial error is deduced. Unconditional superclose result in H¹-norm is obtained, with no additional regularity assumption about the exact solution of the problem considered. Then the global superconvergence error estimate is obtained through the interpolated postprocessing technique. In order to reduce storage and computation time, a fast finite element method evaluation scheme for solving the nonlinear time fractional diffusion equation is developed. To confirm the theoretical error analysis, some numerical results are provided.     

Controllability of nonlinear fractional order integrodifferential system with input delay

This paper addressed the controllability of nonlinear fractional order integrodifferential systems with input delay. Firstly, the Caputo fractional derivatives and the Mittag‐Leffler functions are employed. Thereafter, we establish a set of sufficient and necessary conditions for the controllability of the linear fractional system. Furtherly, controllability conditions of the nonlinear integrodifferential fractional order system with input delay are acquired by utilizing Arzela‐Ascoli theorem and Schauder's fixed‐point theorem. Finally, an example is presented to demonstrate our main results.

A fast second‐order difference scheme for the space–time fractional equation

In this paper, a fast second‐order accurate difference scheme is proposed for solving the space–time fractional equation. The temporal Caputo derivative is approximated by ?L2 ‐1_σ formula which employs the sum‐of‐exponential approximation to the kernel function appeared in Caputo derivative. The second‐order linear spline approximation is applied to the spatial Riemann–Liouville derivative. At each time step, a fast algorithm, the preconditioned conjugate gradient normal residual method with a circulant preconditioner (PCGNR), is used to solve the resulting system that reduces the storage and computational cost significantly. The unique solvability and unconditional convergence of the difference scheme are shown by the discrete energy method. Numerical examples are given to verify numerical accuracy and efficiency of the difference schemes.     

Finite difference methods and their physical constraints for the fractional klein‐kramers equation

Incorporating subdiffusive mechanisms into the Klein‐Kramers formalism leads to the fractional Klein‐Kramers equation. Then, the equation can effectively describe subdiffusion in the presence of an external force field in the phase space. This article presents the finite difference methods for numerically solving the fractional Klein‐Kramers equation and does the detailed stability and error analyses. The stability condition, mvβ ≤ 16, shows the ratio between the kinetic energy of the particle and the temperature of the fluid can not be too large, which well agrees with the physical property of the subdiffusive particle, we call it “physical constraint.” The numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical results on rate of convergence. Moreover, we simulate the fractional Klein‐Kramers dynamics and the simulation results further confirm the effectiveness of our numerical schemes. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Local discontinuous Galerkin approximations to fractional Bagley-Torvik equation

In this research, numerical approximation to fractional Bagley-Torvik equation as an important model arising in fluid mechanics is investigated. Our discretization algorithm is based on the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) schemes along with using the natural upwind fluxes, which enables us to solve the model problem element by element. This means that we require to solve a low-order system of equations in each subinterval, hence avoiding the need for a full global solution. The proposed schemes are tested on a range of initial- and boundary-value problems including a variable coefficient example, a nonsmooth problem, and some oscillatory test cases with exact solutions. Also, the validation of the proposed methods was compared with those obtained available existing computational procedures. Overall, it was found that LDG methods indicated highly satisfactory performance with comparatively lower degree of polynomials and number of elements compared with other numerical models.

In this article, we develop a Crank–Nicolson alternating direction implicit finite volume method for time‐dependent Riesz space‐fractional diffusion equation in two space dimensions. Norm‐based stability and convergence analysis are given to show that the developed method is unconditionally stable and of second‐order accuracy both in space and time. Furthermore, we develop a lossless matrix‐free fast conjugate gradient method for the implementation of the numerical scheme, which only has memory requirement and computational complexity per iteration with N being the total number of spatial unknowns. Several numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheme for large‐scale modeling and simulations.
