Abstract
In this work, a fully discrete mixed finite element (MFE) scheme is designed to solve the multi-term time-fractional reaction–diffusion equations with variable coefficients by using the well-known L1 formula and the Raviart–Thomas MFE space. The existence and uniqueness of the discrete solution is proved by using the matrix theory, and the unconditional stability is also discussed in detail. By introducing the mixed elliptic projection, the error estimates for the unknown variable u in the discrete L∞(L2(Ω)) norm and for the auxiliary variable λ in the discrete L∞((L2(Ω))2) and L∞(H(div,Ω)) norms are obtained. Finally, three numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.
