Finite difference/spectral approximations for the two-dimensional time Caputo-Fabrizio fractional diffusion equation
Year: 2019
Type: preprint
Abstract: The main contribution of this work is to construct and analyze stable and high order schemes to efficiently solve the two-dimensional time Caputo-Fabrizio fractional diffusion equation. Based on a third-order finite difference method in time and spectral methods in space, the proposed scheme is unconditionally stable and has the global truncation error $\mathcal{O}(τ^3+N^{-m})$, where $τ$, $N$ and $m$ are the time step size, polynomial degree and regularity in the space variable of the exact solution, respectively. It should be noted that the global truncation error $\mathcal{O}(τ^2+N^{-m})$ is well established in [ Li, Lv and Xu, {\em Numer. Methods Partial Differ. Equ}. (2019)]. Finally, some numerical experiments are carried out to verify the theoretical analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proof for the stability of the third-order scheme for the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator.
