A Chebyshev-Laguerre Collocation Scheme for Solving A Time Fractional Sub-Diffusion Equation on A Semi-Infinite Domain

Abstract

We propose a new efficient spectral collocation method for solving a time fractional sub-diffusion equation on a semi-infinite domain. The shifted Chebyshev-Gauss-Radau interpolation method is adapted for time discretization along with the Laguerre-Gauss-Radau collocation scheme that is used for space discretization on a semi-infinite domain. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that a spectral method is implemented for both time and space discretizations, which allows us to present a new efficient algorithm for solving time fractional sub-diffusion equations.
