Abstract: In this paper, we propose and analyze a spectral Jacobi-collocation method for the numerical solution of general linear fractional integro-differential equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. First, we use some function and variable transformations to change the equation into a Volterra integral equation defined on the standard interval . Then the Jacobi–Gauss points are used as collocation nodes and the Jacobi–Gauss quadrature formula is used to approximate the integral equation. Later, the convergence order of the proposed method is investigated in the infinity norm. Finally, some numerical results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper investigates a class of the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation (TFDWE), which incorporates a fractional derivative in the Caputo sense of order α + 1 where 0 < α < 1. Initially, the original problem is transformed into a new model that incorporates the fractional Riemann–Liouville integral. Subsequently, a more generalized model is considered and investigated, which includes the generalized fractional integral with memory kernel. The paper establishes the existence and uniqueness of a numerical solution for the problem. We introduce a discretization technique for approximating the generalized fractional Riemann–Liouville integral and study its fundamental properties. Based on this technique, we propose a second-order numerical scheme for approximating the generalized model. The proof of the stability of the proposed difference scheme when considered in terms of the L 2 norm is established. Furthermore, a difference scheme is devised for solving a nonlinear generalized model with time delay. The convergence and stability analysis of this particular case are established using the discrete Gronwall inequality. Numerical examples are provided to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed methods and to support our theoretical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we develop an implicit difference method for solving the nonlinear time-space fractional Schrödinger equation. The scheme is constructed by using the L 2- 1 σ formula to approximate the Caputo fractional derivative, while the weighted and shifted Grünwald formula is adopted for the spatial discretization. The stability and unique solvability of the difference scheme are analyzed in detail. Moreover, we prove that the numerical solution is convergent with second-order accuracy in both temporal and spatial directions. Finally, a linearized iterative algorithm is provided and some numerical tests are presented to validate our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
