Abstract

In this paper, two temporal second-order schemes are derived and analyzed for the time multi-term fractional diffusion-wave equation based on the order reduction technique. The weighted average at two time levels is applied to the discretization of the spatial derivative, in which the weight coefficient corresponds to the optimal point for the time discretization. The two difference schemes are proved to be uniquely solvable. The stability and convergence are rigorously investigated utilizing the energy method. In addition, a fast difference scheme is also presented. The applicability and the accuracy of the schemes are demonstrated by several numerical experiments.
