Numerical methods for solving the multi-term time-fractional wave-diffusion equation

TL;DR: Some computationally effective numerical methods are proposed for simulating the multi-term time-fractional wave-diffusion equations and can be extended to other kinds of themulti-term fractional time-space models with fractional Laplacian.
Abstract: In this paper, the multi-term time-fractional wave-diffusion equations are considered. The multi-term time fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense, whose orders belong to the intervals [0,1], [1,2), [0,2), [0,3), [2,3) and [2,4), respectively. Some computationally effective numerical methods are proposed for simulating the multi-term time-fractional wave-diffusion equations. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical analysis. These methods and techniques can also be extended to other kinds of the multi-term fractional time-space models with fractional Laplacian.

TL;DR: A new family of interpolants are introduced, called fractional Lagrange interpolants, which satisfy the Kronecker delta property at collocation points and are developed as an exponentially accurate fractional spectral collocation method for solving steady-state and time-dependent fractional PDEs (FPDEs).
Abstract: We develop an exponentially accurate fractional spectral collocation method for solving steady-state and time-dependent fractional PDEs (FPDEs). We first introduce a new family of interpolants, called fractional Lagrange interpolants, which satisfy the Kronecker delta property at collocation points. We perform such a construction following a spectral theory recently developed in [M. Zayernouri and G. E. Karniadakis, J. Comput. Phys., 47 (2013), pp. 2108--2131] for fractional Sturm--Liouville eigenproblems. Subsequently, we obtain the corresponding fractional differentiation matrices, and we solve a number of linear FODEs in addition to linear and nonlinear FPDEs to investigate the numerical performance of the fractional collocation method. We first examine space-fractional advection-diffusion problem and generalized space-fractional multiterm FODEs. Next, we solve FPDEs, including the time- and space-fractional advection-diffusion equation, time- and space-fractional multiterm FPDEs, and finally the space...
