In this paper, we provide a numerical solution for the nonlinear tempered fractional integrodifferential equation in three dimensions. We use the trapezoidal convolution rule with backward differences (BDF2) for temporal discretization, and develop an alternating direction implicit difference scheme for spatial discretization. A novel fast approximation is applied to tackle the nonlinear term. The stability and convergence analysis of the numerical scheme are analyzed. Furthermore, some numerical experiments are provided to confirm the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The space-time fractional diffusion-wave equation (FDWE) is a generalization of classical diffusion and wave equations which is used in modeling practical phenomena of diffusion and wave in fluid flow, oil strata and others. This paper reports an accurate spectral tau method for solving the two-sided space and time Caputo FDWE with various types of nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The proposed method is based on shifted Legendre tau (SLT) procedure in conjunction with the shifted Legendre operational matrices of Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, left-sided and right-sided fractional derivatives. We focus primarily on implementing this algorithm in both temporal and spatial discretizations. In addition, convergence analysis is provided theoretically for the Dirichlet boundary conditions, along with graphical analysis for several special cases using other conditions. These suggest that the Legendre Tau method converges exponentially provided that the data in the given FDWE are smooth. Finally, several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the high accuracy of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
