چکیده
The fractional Fokker-Planck equation is often used to characterize anomalous diffusion. In this paper, a fully discrete approximation for the nonlinear spatial fractional Fokker-Planck equation is given, where the discontinuous Galerkin finite element approach is utilized in time domain and the Galerkin finite element approach is utilized in spatial domain. The priori error estimate is derived in detail. Numerical examples are presented which are inline with the theoretical convergence rate.

The Entropy Satisfying Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Fokker-Planck equations
In Liu and Yu (SIAM J Numer Anal 50(3):1207–1239, 2012), we developed a finite volume method for Fokker–Planck equations with an application to finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell model for polymers subject to homogeneous fluids. The method preserves positivity and satisfies the discrete entropy inequalities, but has only first order accuracy in general cases. In this paper, we overc...
متن کاملPseudo-spectral Matrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation
This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.

Computation of Fokker-Planck equations with satisfying long time behavior is important in many applications and difficult in resolving solution structures induced by non-standard forces. Entropy satisfying conservative methods are proven to be powerful to ensure both equilibrium preserving and mass conservation properties at the discrete level. Following [H. Liu and H. Yu, SIAM Journal on Numer...
متن کاملOn Fully Discrete Schemes for the Fermi Pencil-beam Equation
We consider a Fermi pencil beam model in two space dimensions (x; y), where x is aligned with the beam's penetration direction and y together with the scaled angular variable z, correspond to a bounded symmetric , transversal cross section. We study some fully discrete numerical schemes using the standard Galerkin and streamline diiusion nite element methods for discretization of the transversa...
متن کاملAn Entropy Satisfying Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations
We propose a high order discontinuous Galerkin method for solving nonlinear Fokker–Planck equations with a gradient flow structure. For some of these models it is known that the transient solutions converge to steady-states when time tends to infinity. The scheme is shown to satisfy a discrete version of the entropy dissipation law and preserve steady-states, therefore providing numerical solut...
