Error analysis for discontinuous Galerkin method for time‐fractional Burgers' equation

Abstract

The primary goal of this paper is to suggest a fully discrete numerical solution approach for the time‐fractional Burgers' equation. This paper will consider the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense. The time derivative of this equation will be discretized using the L2‐type discretization formula. The spatial variable is approximated by using the nonsymmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method. The proposed method is globally and unconditionally stable. The accuracy of the solution is evaluated using a convergence analysis. Computational experiments further confirm the accuracy and stability of the suggested strategy.
