Hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin methods for space-time fractional advection-dispersion equations

Abstract

This work focuses on the numerical solution of the initial and boundary value problems for space-time fractional advection-diffusion equations. The well-posedness of the weak solutions is shown by Lax-Milgram lemma. Two fully discrete methods are established. The main idea is based on a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin approach in spatial direction and two finite difference schemes in temporal direction: L1 formula, the weighted and shifted Grünwald-Letnikov formula. The stability and convergence analyses of the proposed methods are derived in detail. Several numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
