A spatial compact difference scheme for a class of fourth-order temporal multi-term fractional wave equations is developed. The original problem is reduced to a lower order system and the corresponding time fractional derivatives are approximated by the L1-formula. The unconditional stability and convergence of the difference scheme are proved by the energy method. Numerical experiments support theoretical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
