Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Time-Fractional KdV Equation with the Caputo-Fabrizio Fractional Derivative

Abstract

This paper studies the time-fractional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivatives. The scheme is presented by using a finite difference method in temporal variable and a local discontinuous Galerkin method (LDG) in space. Stability and convergence are demonstrated by a specific choice of numerical fluxes. Finally, the efficiency and accuracy of the scheme are verified by numerical experiments.
