An Effective Algorithm for Delay Fractional Convection-Diffusion Wave Equation Based on Reversible Exponential Recovery Method

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a linearized finite difference scheme for the variable coefficient semi-linear fractional convection-diffusion wave equation with delay. Based on reversible recovery technique, the original problems are transformed into an equivalent variable coefficient semi-linear fractional delay reaction-diffusion equation. Then, the temporal Caputo derivative is discreted by using L1 approximation and the second-order spatial derivative is approximated by the centered finite difference scheme. The numerical solution can be obtained by an inverse exponential recovery method. By introducing a new weighted norm and applying discrete Gronwall inequality, the solvability, unconditionally stability, and convergence in the sense of L2 - and L∞- norms are proved rigorously. Finally, we present a numerical example to verify the effectiveness of our algorithm.
