A Linear Implicit L1-Legendre Galerkin Chebyshev Collocation Method for Generalized Time- and Space-Fractional Burgers Equation

Abstract

In this paper, a linear implicit L1-Legendre Galerkin Chebyshev collocation method for the generalized time- and space-fractional Burgers equation is developed. A linear implicit finite difference scheme based on the L1-algorithm for the Caputo fractional derivative is proposed for temporal discretization. And the Legendre Galerkin Chebyshev collocation method, based on the Legendre-Galerkin variational form, but the nonlinear term and the right-hand term are treated by Chebyshev-Gauss interpolation, is proposed for spatial discretization. Rigorous stability and convergence analysis are developed. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the accuracy, stability and effectiveness of the method.
