Abstract
We consider the two-dimensional space-time fractional differential equation with the Caputo’s time derivative and the Riemann-Liouville space derivatives on bounded domains. The equation is subjected to the zero Dirichlet boundary condition and the zero initial condition. We discretize the equation by finite difference schemes based on Grünwald-Letnikov approximation. Then we linearize the discretized equations into a sparse linear system. To solve such linear system, we propose a gradient-descent iterative algorithm with a sequence of optimal convergence factor aiming to minimize the error occurring at each iteration. The convergence analysis guarantees the capability of the algorithm as long as the coefficient matrix is invertible. In addition, the convergence rate and error estimates are provided. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency, the accuracy and the performance of the proposed algorithm.
