A second order difference scheme for time fractional diffusion equation with generalized memory kernel
In the current work we build a difference analog of the Caputo fractional derivative with generalized memory kernel (_λL2-1_σ formula). The fundamental features of this difference operator are studied and on its ground some difference schemes generating approximations of the second order in time for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficients are worked out. We have proved stability and convergence of the given schemes in the grid L_2 - norm with the rate equal to the order of the approximation error. The achieved results are supported by the numerical computations performed for some test problems.
