A fully implicit finite difference scheme based on extended cubic B-splines for time fractional advection–diffusion equation

Abstract In this paper, we investigate a fully implicit finite difference scheme for solving the time fractional advection–diffusion equation. The time fractional derivative is estimated using Caputo’s formulation, and the spatial derivatives are discretized using extended cubic B-spline functions....

Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, we investigate a fully implicit finite difference scheme for solving the time fractional advection–diffusion equation. The time fractional derivative is estimated using Caputo’s formulation, and the spatial derivatives are discretized using extended cubic B-spline functions. The convergence and stability of the fully implicit scheme are analyzed. Numerical experiments conducted indicate that the scheme is feasible and accurate.
