On skewed grid point iterative method for solving 2D hyperbolic telegraph fractional differential equation.

This paper presents the development of a new iterative method for solving the two-dimensional hyperbolic telegraph fractional differential equation (2D-HTFDE) which is central to the mathematical modeling of transmission line satisfying certain relationship between voltage and current waves in specific distance and time. This equation can be obtained from the classical two-dimensional hyperbolic telegraph partial differential equation by replacing the first and second order time derivatives by the Caputo time fractional derivatives of order 2α and α respectively, with 1 / 2 < α < 1 . The iterative scheme, called the fractional skewed grid Crank–Nicolson FSkG(C-N), is derived from finite difference approximations discretized on a skewed grid rotated clockwise 450 from the standard grid. The skewed finite difference scheme combined with Crank–Nicolson discretization formula will be shown to be unconditionally stable and convergent by the Fourier analysis. The developed FSkG(C-N) scheme will be compared with the fractional Crank–Nicolson scheme on the standard grid to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of computational complexities and computing efforts. It will be shown that the new proposed scheme demonstrates more superior capabilities in terms of the number of iterations and CPU timings compared to its counterpart on the standard grid but with the same order of accuracy.
