Abstract

Recently, fractional derivatives have become increasingly important for describing phenomena occurring in science and engineering fields. In this paper, we consider a numerical method for solving the fractional Burgers’ equations (FBEs), a vital topic in fractional partial differential equations. Due to the difficulty of the fractional derivatives, the nonlinear FBEs are linearized through the Rubin–Graves linearization scheme combined with the implicit the third-order Adams–Moulton scheme. Additionally, in the spatial direction of the FBEs, the fourth-order central finite difference scheme is used to obtain more accurate solutions. The convergence of the proposed scheme is theoretically and numerically analyzed. Also, the efficiency is demonstrated through several numerical experiments and compared with that of existing methods.
