Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional and integer PDEs can describe a large number of practical problems in the field of science and engineering. For solving this kind of PDEs, numerical methods including the finite element method, finite difference method, local discontinuous Galerkin method, finite volume method, spectral method, meshless method, and others have played a very important role. Numerical analysis such as stability and convergence, fast algorithms, and new discrete methods have attracted the attention of many scholars. In addition, numerical experiments have been carried out to confirm the feasibility, effectiveness, and computational efficiency of the algorithms.

 The principal areas of interest of the Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Numerical methods for fractional and integer PDEs;
  2. Stability and convergence based on numerical methods for PDEs;
  3. Construction of a new approximation formula for fractional calculus;
  4. Fast numerical algorithms for solving PDEs.

In this article, a space-time spectral method is considered to approximate third-order differential equations with non-periodic boundary conditions. The Legendre-Petrov-Galerkin discretization is employed in both space and time. In the theoretical analysis, rigorous proof of error estimates in the weighted space-time norms is obtained for the fully discrete scheme. We also formulate the matrix form of the fully discrete scheme by taking appropriate test and trial functions in both space and time. Finally, extensive numerical experiments are conducted for linear and nonlinear problems, and spectral accuracy is derived for both space and time. Moreover, the numerical results are compared with those computed by other numerical methods to confirm the efficiency of the proposed method. Full article

In this paper, we present a high-order approximate solution with uniform accuracy for nonlinear 3D Volterra integral equations. This numerical scheme is constructed based on the three-dimensional block cubic Lagrangian interpolation method. At the same time, we give the local truncation error analysis of the numerical scheme based on Taylor’s theorem. Through theoretical analysis, we reach the conclusion that the optimal convergence order of this high-order numerical scheme is 4. Finally, we verify the effectiveness and applicability of the method through four numerical examples. Full article

Abstract
The fractional Langevin equation has more advantages than its classical equation in representing the random motion of Brownian particles in complex viscoelastic fluid. The Mittag–Leffler (ML) fractional equation without singularity is more accurate and effective than Riemann–Caputo (RC) and Riemann–Liouville (RL) fractional equation [...] Read more.
The fractional Langevin equation has more advantages than its classical equation in representing the random motion of Brownian particles in complex viscoelastic fluid. The Mittag–Leffler (ML) fractional equation without singularity is more accurate and effective than Riemann–Caputo (RC) and Riemann–Liouville (RL) fractional equation in portraying Brownian motion. This paper focuses on a nonlinear ML-fractional Langevin system with distributed lag and integral control. Employing the fixed-point theorem of generalised metric space established by Diaz and Margolis, we built the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias (HUR) stability along with Hyers–Ulam (HU) stability of this ML-fractional Langevin system. Applying our main results and MATLAB software, we have carried out theoretical analysis and numerical simulation on an example. By comparing with the numerical simulation of the corresponding classical Langevin system, it can be seen that the ML-fractional Langevin system can better reflect the stationarity of random particles in the statistical sense.

In this article, the coupled Schrödinger–Boussinesq equations are solved numerically using the finite element method combined with the time two-mesh (TT-M) fast algorithm. The spatial direction is discretized by the standard Galerkin finite element method, the temporal direction is approximated by the TT-M Crank–Nicolson scheme, and then the numerical scheme of TT-M finite element (FE) system is formulated. The method includes three main steps: for the first step, the nonlinear system is solved on the coarse time mesh; for the second step, by an interpolation formula, the numerical solutions at the fine time mesh point are computed based on the numerical solutions on the coarse mesh system; for the last step, the linearized temporal fine mesh system is constructed based on Taylor’s formula for two variables, and then the TT-M FE solutions can be obtained. Furthermore, theory analyses on the TT-M system including the stability and error estimations are conducted. Finally, a large number of numerical examples are provided to verify the accuracy of the algorithm, the correctness of theoretical results, and the computational efficiency with a comparison to the numerical results calculated by using the standard FE method.
