Preconditioned iterative methods for solving a fractional advection-diffusion equation
Abstract
In this paper, we consider numerical solutions of a fractional advection-diffusion equation. We first, propose an implicit method based on Grunwald formulae and then discuss its stability and consistency. To improve the implicit method, we use a preconditioned generalized minimal residual (PGMRES) method and preconditioned conjugate gradient normal residual (PCGNR) method. Numerical experiments are given to illustrate efficiency of the method.
