Abstract

In this paper an implicit fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) finite element method is applied to solve the time-fractional seventh-order Korteweg-de Vries (sKdV) equation, which is introduced by replacing the integer-order time derivatives with fractional derivatives. We prove that our scheme is unconditional stable and $L^2$ error estimate for the linear case with the convergence rate $O(h^{k+1}+(\Delta t)^2+(\Delta t)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}h^{k+\frac{1}{2}})$ through analysis. Extensive numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the present method.
