摘要
Fractional diffusion equations have found increasingly more applications in recent years but introduce new mathematical and numerical difficulties. Galerkin formulation, which was proved to be coercive and well-posed for fractional diffusion equations with a constant diffusivity coefficient, may lose its coercivity for variable-coefficient problems. The corresponding finite element method fails to converge. We utilize the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) framework to develop a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method for variable-coefficient fractional diffusion equations. We prove the well-posedness and optimal-order convergence of the Petrov-Galerkin finite element method. Numerical examples are presented to verify the theoretical results. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
