Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the numerical solution of the time-fractional Allen–Cahn equation with variable diffusion coefficients. A fully discrete approximation is presented by the L2-1σ scheme on graded meshes and spatial high precision nonconforming finite element method (FEM). The nonlinear term is treated with the Newton linearization method. Based on the modified discrete fractional Grönwall inequality, we rigorously prove that the proposed scheme can achieve optimal convergence accuracy in both time and space directions. Furthermore, the H1-norm global superconvergence result is obtained through the interpolation postprocessing technique. Finally, numerical experiments confirm the correctness of our theoretical analysis.
