Spatially fractional order diffusion equations are generalizations of classical diffusion equations which are used in modeling practical superdiffusive problems in fluid flow, finance and others. In this paper, we present an accurate and efficient numerical method to solve a fractional superdiffusive differential equation. This numerical method combines the alternating directions implicit (ADI)...

Dynamic response of the one-dimensional viscoelastic rod finite length, that has one end fixed and other subject to prescribed either displacement or stress, is analyzed by analytical means Laplace transform, yielding stress an arbitrary rod's point as a convolution boundary forcing solution kernel. Thermodynamically consistent Burgers models are adopted constitutive equations describing mechan...

In this paper, we primarily explore numerical solutions to the Quantum 1D Infinite Square Well problem, and the 1D Quantum Scattering problem. We use different finite difference schemes to approximate the second derivative in the 1D Schrodinger’s Equation and linearize the problem. By doing so, we convert the Infinite Well problem to a simple Eigenvalue problem and the Scattering problem to a s...

In this paper, we consider a variable-order fractional advection-diffusion equation with a nonlinear source term on a finite domain. Explicit and implicit Euler approximations for the equation are proposed. Stability and convergence of the methods are discussed. Moveover, we also present a fractional method of lines, a matrix transfer technique, and an extrapolation method for the equation. Som...
