Finite volume element method for two-dimensional fractional subdiffusion problems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, a semi-discrete spatial finite volume (FV) method is proposed and analyzed for approximating solutions of anomalous subdiffusion equations involving a temporal fractional derivative of order alphain(0,1) in a two-dimensional convex polygonal domain. Optimal error estimates in Linfty(L2)- norm is shown to hold. Superconvergence result is proved and as a consequence, it is established that quasi-optimal order of convergence in Linfty(Linfty) holds. We also consider a fully discrete scheme that employs FV method in space, and a piecewise linear discontinuous Galerkin method to discretize in temporal direction. It is, further, shown that convergence rate is of order O(h2+k1+alpha), where h denotes the space discretizing parameter and k represents the temporal discretizing parameter. Numerical experiments indicate optimal convergence rates in both time and space, and also illustrate that the imposed regularity assumptions are pessimistic.
