Abstract

A finite difference method for a class of time-space fractional diffusion equations is considered. The trapezoidal formula and a fourth-order fractional compact difference scheme are, respectively, used in temporal and spatial discretisations and the method stability is studied. Theoretical estimates of the convergence in the $L_2$ -norm are shown to be $\mathscr{O}(τ^2+h^4)$, where $τ$ and $h$ are time and space mesh sizes. Numerical examples confirm theoretical results.
