Abstract

In this paper, we develop novel local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) methods for fractional difusion equations with non-smooth solutions. We consider such problems, for which the solutions are not smooth at boundary, and therefore the traditional LDG methods with piecewise polynomial solutions sufer accuracy degeneracy. The novel LDG methods utilize a solution information enriched basis, simulate the problem on a paired special mesh, and achieve optimal order of accuracy. We analyze the L2 stability and optimal error estimate in L2-norm. Finally, numerical examples are presented for validating the theoretical conclusions.

Key words： Local discontinuous Galerkin methods; Fractional difusion equations; Nonsmooth solutions; Novel basis; Optimal order of accuracy
