Finite difference scheme for a non-linear subdiffusion problem with a fractional derivative along the trajectory of motion

Abstract

Abstract The article is devoted to the construction and study of a finite-difference scheme for a one-dimensional diffusion–convection equation with a fractional derivative with respect to the characteristic of the convection operator. It develops the previous results of the authors from [5, 6] in the following ways: the differential equation contains a fractional derivative of variable order along the characteristics of the convection operator and a quasi-linear diffusion operator; a new accuracy estimate is proved, which singles out the dependence of the accuracy of mesh scheme on the curvature of the characteristics.
