Abstract

In this article, some high-order local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) schemes based on some second-order θ approximation formulas in time are presented to solve a two-dimensional nonlinear fractional difusion equation. The unconditional stability of the LDG scheme is proved, and an a priori error estimate with O(h^k+1 + △t²) is derived, where k ≥ 0 denotes the index of the basis function. Extensive numerical results with Q^k(k=0, 1, 2, 3) elements are provided to confrm our theoretical results, which also show that the secondorder convergence rate in time is not impacted by the changed parameter θ.

Key words： Two-dimensional nonlinear fractional difusion equation; High-order LDG method; Second-order θ scheme; Stability and error estimate
