Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to develop and analyze a robust computational method based on exponential B-splines for solving fractional sub-diffusion equations. The fractional operator includes the Mittag-Leffler function of one parameter in the form of a kernel that is non-local and non-singular in nature. The current approach is based on an effective finite difference method for discretizing in time, and the exponential B-spline functions for discretizing in space. The proposed scheme is proven to be unconditionally stable and convergent. Also, unique solvability of the method is established. Numerical simulations conducted for multiple test examples validate the agreement between the obtained theoretical results and the corresponding numerical outcomes.
