Abstract
This paper develops novel fast numerical solvers for subdiffusion problems with spatial interfaces. These problems are modeled by partial differential equations that contain both
fractional order and conventional first order time derivatives. The former is non-local and approximated by L1 and L2 discretizations along with fast evaluation algorithms based on approximation
by sums of exponentials. This results in an effective treatment of the “long-tail” kernel of subdiffusion. The latter is local and hence conventional implicit Euler or Crank-Nicolson discretizations
can be used. Finite volumes are utilized for spatial discretization based on consideration of local
mass conservation. Interface conditions for mass and fractional fluxes are incorporated into these
fast solvers. Computational complexity and implementation procedures are briefly discussed.
Numerical experiments demonstrate accuracy and efficiency of these new fast solvers.
