Abstract:
A family of difference schemes for the fractional-order diffusion equation with variable coefficients is considered. By the method of energetic inequalities, a priori estimates are obtained for solutions of finite-difference problems, which imply the stability and convergence of the difference schemes considered. The validity of the results is confirmed by numerical calculations for test examples.
Key words:fractional-order derivative, stability and convergence of difference schemes, fractional-order diffusion equation.
