Second order scheme for self-similar solutions of a time-fractional porous medium equation on the half-line

作者:

Highlights:

• An efficient numerical method for solving time-fractional porous medium equation on the half-line with self-similar boundary conditions is devised and analyzed.

• The second order method stems from the discretization of the nonlinear Volterra equation and converges to the nontrivial solution.

• Numerical simulations and computational complexity estimates indicate that the method is superior to the finite difference scheme.
