Analysis of local discontinuous Galerkin method for variable-order fractional diffusion equations with time-dependent
摘要
This paper develops an efficient numerical scheme for solving variable-order fractional diffusion equations with time-dependent. We propose a new numerical treatment for handling situations where three types of derivatives (first-order derivatives, Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, and Caputo variable-order fractional derivatives) coexist. Spatial discretization is carried out using the local discontinuous Galerkin method, while temporal discretization is implemented via the L1 formula of variable-order fractional derivatives. An analysis of the stability and convergence of the proposed method is provided. Notably, the proposed scheme achieves a convergence rate of
