摘要: In this work, we develop an efcient iterative scheme for a class of nonlocal evolution models involving a Caputo fractional derivative of order α(0, 1) in time. The fully discrete scheme is obtained using the standard Galerkin method with conforming piecewise linear fnite elements in space and corrected high-order BDF convolution quadrature in time. At each time step, instead of solving the linear algebraic system exactly, we employ a multigrid iteration with a Gauss-Seidel smoother to approximate the solution efciently. Illustrative numerical results for nonsmooth problem data are presented to demonstrate the app
