A hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for fractional diffusion problems

From MaRDI portal




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 hk+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(Th2/(alpha+1)),,hk+2.
