Abstract
In this paper, a Galerkin finite element scheme to approximate the time–space fractional diffusion equation is studied. Firstly, the fractional diffusion equation is transformed into a fractional Volterra integro-differential equation. And a second-order fractional trapezoidal formula is used to approach the time fractional integral. Then a Galerkin finite element method is introduced in space direction, where the semi-discretization scheme and fully discrete scheme are given separately. The stability analysis of semi-discretization scheme is discussed in detail. Furthermore, convergence analysis of semi-discretization scheme and fully discrete scheme are given in details. Finally, two numerical examples are displayed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
