• Abstract

A local discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for a class of timefractional Burgers equations is developed. In order to achieve a high order accuracy, the time-fractional Burgers equation is transformed into a first order system. The method is based on a finite difference scheme in time and local discontinuous Galerkin methods in space. The scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable and in linear case it has convergence rate $\mathcal{O}$(τ2−α + $h$$k+1), where k ≥ 0 denotes the order of the basis functions used. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the scheme. • Keywords Time-fractional Burgers equation, Caputo fractional derivative, local discontinuous Galerkin method, stability, convergence. • AMS Subject Headings 65M60, 35K55 • Copyright COPYRIGHT: © Global Science Press • Email address • BibTex • RIS • TXT @Article{EAJAM-10-818, author = {Wenping Yuan , and Yanping Chen , and Yunqing Huang , }, title = {A Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Time-Fractional Burgers Equations}, journal = {East Asian Journal on Applied Mathematics}, year = {2020}, volume = {10}, number = {4}, pages = {818--837}, abstract = { A local discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for a class of timefractional Burgers equations is developed.
