In this paper, we introduce an Adams-type predictor–corrector method based on a modified graded mesh for solving Caputo fractional differential equations. This method not only effectively handles the weak singularity near the initial point but also reduces errors associated with large intervals in traditional graded meshes. We prove the error estimates in detail for both 0<α<1 and 1<α<2 cases, where α is the order of the Caputo fractional derivative. Numerical experiments confirm the convergence of the proposed method and compare its performance with the traditional graded mesh approach.Citation

A novel high-order algorithm for the numerical estimation of fractional differential equationsThis paper uses polynomial interpolation to design a novel high-order algorithm for the numerical estimation of fractional differential equations. The Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative is expressed by using the Hadamard finite-part integral and the piecewise cubic interpolation polynomial is utilized to approximate the integral. The detailed error analysis is presented and it is established that the convergence order of the algorithm is O(h4−a). Asymptotic expansion of the error for the presented algorithm is also investigated. Some numerical examples are provided and compared with the exact solution to show that the numerical results are in well agreement with the theoretical ones and also to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

A finite element method for time fractional partial differential equationsFractional differential equations, particularly fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) have many applications in areas such as diffusion processes, electromagnetics, electrochemistry, material science and turbulent flow. There are lots of work for the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for fractional partial differential equations. In recent years, people start to consider the numerical methods for solving fractional partial differential equation. The numerical methods include finite difference method, finite element method and the spectral method. In this dissertation, we mainly consider the finite element method, for the time fractional partial differential equation. We consider both time discretization and space discretization. We obtain the optimal error estimates both in time and space. The numerical examples demonstrate that the numerical results are consistent with the theoretical results.

Stability regions of numerical methods for solving fractional differential equationsThis dissertation deals with proper consideration of stability regions of well known numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations. It is based on the algorithm by Diethelm [15], predictor-corrector algorithm by Garrappa [31] and the convolution quadrature proposed by Lubich [3]. Initially, we considered the stability regions of numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equation using boundary locus method as a stepping stone of understanding the subject matter in Chapter 4. We extend the idea to the fractional differential equation in the following chapter and conclude that each stability regions of the numerical methods differs because of their differences in weights. They are illustrated by a number of graphs.
