Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the numerical method based upon the spectral element technique for the numerical solution of the fractional advection-difusion equation. The time variable has been discretized by a second-order fnite diference procedure. The stability and the convergence of the semi-discrete formula have been proven. Then, the spatial variable of the main PDEs is approximated by the spectral element method. The convergence order of the fully discrete scheme is studied. The basis functions of the spectral element method are based upon a class of Legendre polynomials. The numerical experiments confrm the theoretical results.
