Abstract:
This paper aims to construct an effective numerical scheme to solve convection-reaction-diffusion problems consisting of time-fractional derivative and delay in time. First, the semi-discretization process is given for the fractional derivative using a finite-difference scheme with second-order accuracy. Then the cubic B-spline collocation method is employed to get the full discretization. We prove that the suggested scheme is conditionally stable and convergent. Two numerical examples are incorporated to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. Numerical investigations support the proposed method’s accuracy and show that the method solves the problem efficiently.
