Abstract: We study the use of the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for numerically solving fractional diffusion equations of order $-alpha$ with $-1<alpha<0$. For exact time-marching, we derive optimal algebraic error estimates {assuming} that the exact solution is sufficiently regular. Thus, if for each time $tin[0,T]$ the approximations are taken to be piecewise polynomials of degree $kge0$ on the spatial domain~$Omega$, the approximations to $u$ in the $$-norm and to $ablau$ in the $$-norm are proven to converge with the rate $h^{k+1}$, where $h$ is the maximum diameter of the elements of the mesh. Moreover, for $kge1$ and quasi-uniform meshes, we obtain a superconvergence result which allows us to compute, in an elementwise manner, a new approximation for $u$ converging with a rate of $sqrtlog(T{h}^{-2/(alpha+1)}),,h^{k+2}$.

Review text

In this paper, the authors propose and analyze a numerical method using exact integration in time and the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method (cf. [\textit{B. Cockburn} et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 47, No. 2, 1319--1365 (2009; Zbl 1205.65312)]) for the spatial discretization of a certain anomalous, slow diffusion (sub-diffusion) model problem in \(u\). Assuming that the exact solution is sufficiently regular, optimal error estimates of the approximations to \(u\) in certain norms over a regular triangular meshes has been proved. For quasi-uniform meshes, by a simple elementwise postprocessing, a faster approximation for \(u\) with a superconvergence rate has been obtained. Thus, the authors obtain a much better approximation at a cost which is negligible in comparison with that of obtaining the approximate solution. These convergence results extend those obtained in [\textit{B. Chabaud} and \textit{B. Cockburn}, Math. Comput. 81, No. 277, 107--129 (2012; Zbl 1251.65138)] for the heat equation.
