Abstract

By employing $EQ_1^{rot}$ nonconforming finite element, the numerical approximation is presented for multi-term time-fractional mixed sub-diffusion and diffusion-wave equation on anisotropic meshes. Comparing with the multi-term time-fractional sub-diffusion equation or diffusion-wave equation, the mixed case contains a special time-space coupled derivative, which leads to many difficulties in numerical analysis. Firstly, a fully discrete scheme is established by using nonconforming finite element method (FEM) in spatial direction and L1 approximation coupled with Crank-Nicolson (L1-CN) scheme in temporal direction. Furthermore, the fully discrete scheme is proved to be unconditional stable. Besides, convergence and superclose results are derived by using the properties of $EQ_1^{rot}$ nonconforming finite element. What's more, the global superconvergence is obtained via the interpolation postprocessing technique. Finally, several numerical results are provided to demonstrate the theoretical analysis on anisotropic meshes.
