Abstract
In this paper, we develop a two-grid virtual element method for nonlinear variable-order time-fractional diffusion equation on polygonal meshes. The L1 graded mesh scheme is considered in the time direction, and the VEM is used to approximate spatial direction. The two-grid virtual element algorithm reduces the solution of the nonlinear time fractional problem on a fine grid to one linear equation on the same fine grid and an original nonlinear problem on a much coarser grid. As a result, our algorithm not only saves total computational cost, but also maintains the optimal accuracy. Optimal error estimates are analysed in detail for both the VEM scheme and the corresponding two-grid VEM scheme. Finally, numerical experiments presented confirm the theoretical findings.
