Implicit difference approximation for the time fractional diffusion equation. (English)
[J] J. Appl. Math. Comput. 22, No. 3, 87-99 (2006). ISSN 1598-5865; ISSN 1865-2085/e

Author's summary: We consider a time fractional diffusion equation on a finite domain. The equation is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative by a fractional derivative (of order $0<\alpha<1$). We propose a computationally effective implicit difference approximation to solve the time fractional diffusion equation. Stability and convergence of the method are discussed. We prove that the implicit difference approximation (IDA) is unconditionally stable, and the IDA is convergent with $O(\tau+h^2)$, where $\tau$ and $h$ are time and space steps, respectively. Some numerical examples are presented to show the application of the present technique.
