Finite difference methods and their physical constraints for the fractional klein-kramers equation

Abstract

Incorporating subdiffusive mechanisms into the Klein-Kramers formalism leads to the fractional KleinKramers equation. Then, the equation can effectively describe subdiffusion in the presence of an external force field in the phase space. This article presents the finite difference methods for numerically solving the fractional Klein-Kramers equation and does the detailed stability and error analyses. The stability condition, mv 2 R β ≤ 16, shows the ratio between the kinetic energy of the particle and the temperature of the fluid can not be too large, which well agrees with the physical property of the subdiffusive particle, we call it "physical constraint." The numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical results on rate of convergence. Moreover, we simulate the fractional Klein-Kramers dynamics and the simulation results further confirm the effectiveness of our numerical schemes.

The dual reciprocity boundary elements method for the linear and nonlinear two‐dimensional time‐fractional partial differential equations

“…The expression given by (18) can be expressed in terms of the coefficients N H rq and G rq , using the constant element approximation [67]. The resulting equation is…”

“…Ding and Li developed two classes of FDMs for the reaction–subdiffusion equations by using a mixed spline function in space direction, forward and backward differences in time direction. The authors of presented the FDMs for numerically solving the fractional Klein–Kramers equation. We also refer the interested readers to and the references therein to see some research works that have used FDMs to solve FPDEs.…”

Finite element method for two‐dimensional time‐fractional tricomi‐type equations

“…The modeling progress on using FDEs has led to increase interest in developing numerical schemes for their solutions. Several methods have been introduced to solve fractional integro and/or differential equations, the popular Laplace transform method [1,6], the finite difference/spectral method [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], the Fourier transform method [17], the iteration method [18], the operational method [19], the homotopy/perturbation analysis method [20][21][22][23][24][25][26], the finite element method, and local discontinuous Garlerkin finite element method [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”
