Predictor-corrector schemes for nonlinear space-fractional parabolic PDEs with time-dependent boundary conditions (Q2227673)

The authors consider some nonlinear space-fractional PDEs (Partial Differential Equations) with time-dependent boundary conditions. They develop novel second-order accurate methods. The matrix transfer technique is used for spatial discretization of the parabolic PDEs to obtain systems of ordinary differential equations. The time-stepping schemes based on exponential time differencing with Gaussian quadrature points are used in time. Error estimates are proved. Some numerical tests are presented to show the convergence rates of the proposed schemes.
