A Second Order Finite Difference Approximation for the Fractional Diffusion Equation

Abstract: Abstract-We consider an approximation of one-dimensional fractional diffusion equation. We claim and show that the finite difference approximation obtained from the Grünwald-Letnikov formulation, often claimed to be of first order accuracy, is in fact a second order approximation of the fractional derivative at a point away from the grid points. We use this fact to device a second order accurate finite difference approximation for the fractional diffusion equation. The proposed method is also shown to be uncon… Show more

“…Generally speaking, if c −1 = c 1 it is hard/impossible to get a high order scheme for (1) with K 1 K 2 = 0. However, for second order approximations, as do in [20], we can firstly plug (12) into the two-sided problem (1), and then expand ∂u(x+βh,t) ∂t in Taylor's series w.r.t x, similar to the way of getting (23), (24) and (28). That is,…”

“…In [20,22], it is found that the Grünwald approximation has a superconvergent point. Based on this fact, in this subsection we derive a series of second order quasi-compact approximations for the combined left Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives.…”
