High-Order Time-Stepping Methods for Two-Dimensional Space-Fractional Reaction-Diffusion Models
摘要
In this paper, we developed novel fourth-order Runge-Kutta type exponential time differencing (ETD) A-stable and L-stable methods for space-fractional nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with initial non-smooth or smooth data. Based on compact finite differences, a fourth-order technique is used for spatial discretization, while ETD is employed to discretize the time. Our novel numerical schemes have the benefit of explicitly handling the nonlinear term. The well-known issue of numerical instability related to computing the matrix exponential is addressed using the real single-pole rational approximation, namely the restricted Padé approximation approach. The corresponding ETD-A-stable and L-stable methods are obtained. Convergence, error estimates, and stability analysis of the suggested approaches are studied theoretically. Under a global Lipschitz continuity assumption, the unconditional
