Abstract
In this paper, we propose a nonuniform numerical formula for the Caputo fractional derivative at the half-grid based on the piecewise linear interpolation and construct a difference scheme for the time-fractional nonlinear fourth-order reaction-diffusion equation. By virtue of two discrete tools: the discrete orthogonal convolution kernels and the discrete complementary convolution kernels, we obtain the positive definiteness of the discrete time-fractional derivative. Then a discrete variational energy dissipation law of the proposed difference scheme is established for the time-fractional nonlinear fourth-order reaction-diffusion equation, which is asymptotically compatible with the associated energy dissipation law for the classical equation as the value of fractional order approaches to one. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and the energy dissipation of the proposed difference scheme with an adaptive time-stepping strategy.
