ABSTRACT

In this paper, an efficient numerical scheme for the time fractional reaction–diffusion equation with Neumann boundary conditions is proposed combining finite-difference method in time and Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre-Birkhoff (GLLB) pseudospectral method in space. GLLB quadrature formula involves first-order derivative values at endpoints, which allows a natural and exact imposition of Neumann boundary conditions. It is proved that the scheme is unconditionally stable and convergent with order O(τ2+Nm), where τ, N and m stand for the time step, polynomial degree and spatial regularity of the exact solution. Numerical experiment is carried out to support theoretical analysis.
