Nodal discontinuous Galerkin methods for fractional diffusion equations on 2D domain with triangular meshes

Abstract

This paper, as the sequel to previous work, develops numerical schemes for fractional diffusion equations on a two-dimensional finite domain with triangular meshes. We adopt the nodal discontinuous Galerkin methods for the full spatial discretization by the use of high-order nodal basis, employing multivariate Lagrange polynomials defined on the triangles. Stability analysis and error estimates are provided, which shows that if polynomials of degree $N$ are used, the methods are (N+1)-th order accurate for general triangulations. Finally, the performed numerical experiments confirm the optimal order of convergence.
