Numerical and theoretical treatment based on the compact finite
difference and Spectral collocation algorithms of the space
fractional-order Fisher's equation
Abstract
This paper present an accurate numerical algorithm to solve the space
fractional-order Fisher’s equation where the derivative operator is
described in the Caputo derivative sense. In the presented
discretization process, first we use the compact nite difference (CFD)
to occur a semi-discrete in time derivative, and implement the Chebyshev
spectral collocation method (CSCM) of the third-kind to discretize the
spatial fractional derivative. The presented method converts the studied
problem to be a system of algebraic equations which can be easily
solved. To study the convergence and stability analysis, some theorems
are given with their profs. A numerical simulation is given to test the
accuracy and the applicability of our presented algorithm.
