Abstract
In this paper, we construct a new linear second-order finite difference scheme with two parameters for space-fractional Allen–Cahn equations. We first prove that the discrete maximum principle holds under reasonable constraints on time step size and coefficient of stabilized term. Secondly, we analyze the maximum-norm error. Thirdly, we can see that the proposed scheme is unconditionally energy-stable by defining the modified energy and selecting the appropriate parameters. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to verify the theoretical results.
期刊介绍:
The theory of difference equations, the methods used, and their wide applications have advanced beyond their adolescent stage to occupy a central position in applicable analysis. In fact, in the last 15 years, the proliferation of the subject has been witnessed by hundreds of research articles, several monographs, many international conferences, and numerous special sessions.
The theory of differential and difference equations forms two extreme representations of real world problems. For example, a simple population model when represented as a differential equation shows the good behavior of solutions whereas the corresponding discrete analogue shows the chaotic behavior. The actual behavior of the population is somewhere in between.
The aim of Advances in Difference Equations is to report mainly the new developments in the field of difference equations, and their applications in all fields. We will also consider research articles emphasizing the qualitative behavior of solutions of ordinary, partial, delay, fractional, abstract, stochastic, fuzzy, and set-valued differential equations.
Advances in Difference Equations will accept high-quality articles containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit.
