Abstract

In this paper, a second-order finite-difference scheme is investigated for time-dependent space fractional diffusion equations with variable coefficients. In the presented scheme, the Crank–Nicolson temporal discretization and a second-order weighted-and-shifted Grünwald–Letnikov spatial discretization are employed. Theoretically, the unconditional stability and the second-order convergence in time and space of the proposed scheme are established under some conditions on the variable coefficients. Moreover, a Toeplitz preconditioner is proposed for linear systems arising from the proposed scheme. The condition number of the preconditioned matrix is proven to be bounded by a constant independent of the discretization step-sizes, so that the Krylov subspace solver for the preconditioned linear systems converges linearly. Numerical results are reported to show the convergence rate and the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
