Abstract

In this paper, a high-order numerical algorithm is derived for a class of time fractional Fokker–Planck equations. To avoid discrete approximation of convection term, we first transform the original equation into an equivalent form, then the spatial derivative and time Riemann–Liouville derivative are approximated by a fourth-order compact formula and a second-order midpoint formula, respectively. The stability and convergence of the developed difference scheme is studied by the energy method. Finally, numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
