报告题目:On mathematical models by (variable-order) time-fractional diffusion equations


报告人:Hong Wang, Department of Mathematics, University of South Carolina

报告时间:13:30-14:30


摘要:Recently, Stynes et al proved that time-fractional diffusion equations (tFDEs) generate solutions with singularity near the initial time t=0, which makes the error estimates in the literature that were proved under full regularity assumptions of the true solutions inappropriate.

From a modeling point of view, the singularities of the solutions to tFDEs at t=0 do not seem physically relevant to the diffusive transport the tFDEs model. The fundamental reason lies between the incompatibility between the nonlocality of tFDEs and the locality of the initial condition. 

To eliminate the incompatibility, we propose a modified tFDE model in which the fractional order will vary near the time t=0, which naturally leads to variable-order tFDEs. We will also show that variable-order tFDEs occur naturally in applications. Finally, we briefly discuss the mathematical difficulties in the analysis of variable-order tFDEs, since many widely used Laplace transform based techniques do not apply here.

报告题目:Wellposedness and regularity of variable order time fractional diffusion equations


报告人:Xiangcheng Zheng, Department of Mathematics, University of South Carolina

报告时间:14:30-15:10


摘要:We prove the wellposedness of a nonlinear variable-order fractional ordinary differential equation and the regularity of its solutions, which is determined by the values of the variable order and its high-order derivatives at time t=0. More precisely, we prove that its solutions have full regularity like its integer-order analogue if the variable order has an integer limit at t=0 or exhibits singular behaviors at t=0 like in the case of the constant-order fractional differential equations if the variable order has a non-integer value at time t=0.

We then extend the developed techniques to prove the wellposedness of a variable-order linear time-fractional diffusion equation in multiple space dimensions and the regularity of its solutions, which depends on the behavior of the variable order at t=0 in the similar manner to that of the fractional ordinary differential equations.

报告题目:耦合非局部模型的局部加密快速算法


报告人:贾金红, 山东师范大学 数学与统计学院

报告时间:15:10-15:50


摘要:经典的泥沙运移模型由一组耦合的偏微分方程给出,然而由于泥沙颗粒运动的平均等待时间与跳动距离具有幂律拖尾特征,很难用经典的整数阶方程来刻画。由分数阶对流扩散方程以及曲面生长模型构成的非局部耦合系统可以更准确地描述泥沙扩散与河床演变过程,然而非局部性也带来巨大的计算量与存储量问题,这里主要介绍上述耦合非局部系统在一般区域上的局部加密快速算法,以达到降低存储量、提升计算效率的目的。

报告题目:Time-fractional Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard phase-field models and their numerical investigation


报告人: 刘欢,山东大学 数学学院

报告时间:15:50-16:30


摘要:In this talk, we introduce the time-fractional Allen–Cahn and Cahn–Hilliard phase-field models to account for the anomalously subdiffusive transport behavior in heterogeneous porous materials or memory effect of certain materials. We develop an efficient finite difference scheme and a Fourier spectral scheme to effectively treat the significantly increased memory requirement and computational complexity, which arise due to the nonlocal behavior of the time-fractional models.


For time fractional Cahn–Hilliard model, we observe from the numerical results that the bigger the fractional order α is, the faster the energy decays. However, for time fractional Allen–Cahn model, we derived an opposite conclusion. Moreover, we also study the coarsening dynamics for time fractional Cahn–Hilliard model, numerical results reveal that the scaling law for the energy decays as O(t^(-α/3)), which is consistent with the well-known result O(t^(-1/3)) for integer-order Cahn–Hilliard model.
