Abstract
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 2196-2221, October 2024. Abstract. We consider the completely positive discretizations of fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs) on nonuniform meshes. Making use of the resolvents for nonuniform meshes, we first establish comparison principles for the discretizations. Then we prove some discrete Grönwall inequalities using the comparison principles and careful analysis of the solutions to the time continuous FODEs. Our results do not have restriction on the step size ratio. The Grönwall inequalities for dissipative equations can be used to obtain the uniform-in-time error control and decay estimates of the numerical solutions. The Grönwall inequalities are then applied to subdiffusion problems and the time fractional Allen–Cahn equations for illustration.
