Some numerical extrapolation methods for the fractional sub-diffusion equation and fractional wave equation based on the \(L1\) formula. (English) Zbl 1513.65304

Summary: With the help of the asymptotic expansion for the classic \(L1\) formula and based on the \(L1\)-type compact difference scheme, we propose a temporal Richardson extrapolation method for the fractional sub-diffusion equation. Three extrapolation formulas are presented, whose temporal convergence orders in \(L_\infty \)-norm are proved to be 2, \(3-\alpha\), and \(4-2\alpha\), respectively, where \(0<\alpha <1\). Similarly, by the method of order reduction, an extrapolation method is constructed for the fractional wave equation including two extrapolation formulas, which achieve temporal \(4-\gamma\) and \(6-2\gamma\) order in \(L_\infty\)-norm, respectively, where \(1<\gamma <2\). Combining the derived extrapolation methods with the fast algorithm for Caputo fractional derivative based on the sum-of-exponential approximation, the fast extrapolation methods are obtained which reduce the computational complexity significantly while keeping the accuracy. Several numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.
