Accurate numerical simulations for fractional diffusion equations using spectral deferred correction methods

This paper mainly studies the high-order stable numerical solutions of the time-space fractional diffusion equation. The Fourier spectral method is used for discretization in space and the Spectral Deferred Correction (SDC) method is used for numerical solutions in time. Therefore, a high-precision numerical discretization scheme for solving the fractional diffusion equation is obtained, and the convergence and stability of the scheme are proved. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the numerical scheme.
