Abstract: We study the numerical approximation of fractional powers of accretive operators in this paper. Namely, if $A$ is the accretive operator associated with an accretive sesquilinear form $A(cdot,cdot)$ defined on a Hilbert space $mathbbV$ contained in $L^2(Omega)$, we approximate $$ for $$. The fractional powers are defined in terms of the so-called Balakrishnan integral formula. Given a finite element approximation space $mathbb{V}_{h}subsetmathbbV$, $$ is approximated by $$ where $A_h$ is the operator associated with the form $A(cdot,cdot)$ restricted to $mathbb{V}_h$ and $p{i}_h$ is the $L^2(Omega)$-projection onto $mathbb{V}_h$. We first provide error estimates for $$ in Sobolev norms with index in [0,1] for appropriate $f$. These results depend on elliptic regularity properties of variational solutions involving the form $A(cdot,cdot)$ and are valid for the case of less than full elliptic regularity. We also construct and analyze an exponentially convergent sinc quadrature approximation to the Balakrishnan integral defining $$. Finally, the results of numerical computations illustrating the proposed method are given.
