Fourth-order combined compact finite difference scheme is given for solving the time fractional convection–diffusion–reaction equation with variable coefficients. We introduce the flux as a new variable and transform the original equation into a system of two equations. Compact difference is used as a high-order approximation for spatial derivatives of integer order in the coupled partial diffe...

The time fractional diffusion equation (TFDE) is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative with a fractional derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1). In this work, an explicit finite-difference scheme for TFDE is presented. Discrete models of a non-Markovian random walk are generate for simulating random variables whose spatial probability density evolves...

One of the ongoing issues with fractional-order diffusion models is the design of efficient numerical schemes for the space and time discretizations. Until now, most models have relied on a low-order finite difference method to discretize both the fractional-order space and time derivatives. While the finite difference method is simple and straightforward to solve integer-order differential equ...

The computational complexity of one-dimensional time fractional reaction-diffusion equation is O(N²M) compared with O(NM) for classical integer reaction-diffusion equation. Parallel computing is used to overcome this challenge. Domain decomposition method (DDM) embodies large potential for parallelization of the numerical solution for fractional equations and serves as a basis for distributed, ...

For example, investigating the Hamiltonian constraint equation for a black hole with angular momentum we find that, where finite difference solutions require a resolution of 1024×384 (radial×angular) grid points to find a solution of fractional error 10−5 in the ADM mass, a PSC solution achieves the same accuracy with only 12× 4 collocation points. Furthermore, the fractional error is reduced t...
