Jacobi collocation scheme for variable-order fractional reaction-subdiffusion equation

Abstract

We developed a numerical scheme to solve the variable-order fractional linear subdiffusion and nonlinear reaction-subdiffusion equations using the shifted Jacobi collocation method. Basically, a time-space collocation approximation for temporal and spatial discretizations is employed efficiently to tackle these equations. The convergence and stability analyses of the suggested basis functions are presented in-depth. The validity and efficiency of the proposed method are investigated and verified through numerical examples.
