A second order explicit finite difference method for the fractional advection diffusion equation. (English) Zbl 1268.65118

Comput. Math. Appl. 64, No. 10, 3141-3152 (2012).
Summary: We develop a numerical method for fractional advection diffusion problems with source terms in domains with homogeneous boundary conditions. The numerical method is derived by using a Lax-Wendroff-type time discretization procedure, it is explicit and second order accurate. The convergence of the numerical method is studied and numerical results are presented.
