Title
A transformed L1 method for solving the multi-term time-fractional diffusion problem
Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel scheme for solving a time-fractional initial–boundary value problem, where the equation contains a sum of Caputo derivatives with orders between 0 and 1. In order to overcome the difficulty of initial layer, we introduce a change of variable in the temporal direction and investigate the regularity of the solutions of the resulting system. A modified L1 approximation is used to approximate the Caputo derivatives and a standard Galerkin-Spectral method is applied to approximate the spatial derivatives. Unconditional stability and convergence of the fully-discrete scheme are proved by applying a novel discrete fractional Grönwall inequality. Finally, numerical examples are given to confirm our theoretical results.
