Abstract
We consider the numerical solution of a one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion problem, where the order of the Caputo time derivative belongs to (0, 1). Using the technique of the method of lines, we first develop from the original problem a system of fractional ordinary differential equations. Using an integral equation reformulation of this system, we study the regularity properties of the exact solution of the system of fractional differential equations and construct a piecewise polynomial collocation method to solve it numerically. We also investigate the convergence and the convergence order of the proposed method. To conclude, we present the results of some numerical experiments.
期刊介绍:
Fractal and Fractional is an international, scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the study of fractals and fractional calculus, as well as their applications across various fields of science and engineering. It is published monthly online by MDPI and offers a cutting-edge platform for research papers, reviews, and short notes in this specialized area. The journal, identified by ISSN 2504-3110, encourages scientists to submit their experimental and theoretical findings in great detail, with no limits on the length of manuscripts to ensure reproducibility. A key objective is to facilitate the publication of detailed research, including experimental procedures and calculations. "Fractal and Fractional" also stands out for its unique offerings: it warmly welcomes manuscripts related to research proposals and innovative ideas, and allows for the deposition of electronic files containing detailed calculations and experimental protocols as supplementary material.
