A Fourth Order Non-Polynomial Quintic Spline Collocation Technique for Solving Time Fractional Superdiffusion Equations

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a technique for the numerical solution of Caputo time fractional superdiffusion equation. The central difference approximation is used to discretize the time derivative, while non-polynomial quintic spline is employed as an interpolating function in the spatial direction. The proposed method is shown to be unconditionally stable and O(h(4) + Delta t(2)) accurate. In order to check the feasibility of the proposed technique, some test examples have been considered and the simulation results are compared with those available in the existing literature.
