摘要

In this paper an implicit fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) finite element method is applied to solve the time-fractional seventh-order Korteweg-de Vries (sKdV) equation, which is introduced by replacing the integer-order time derivatives with fractional derivatives. We prove that our scheme is unconditional stable and L-2 error estimate for the linear case with the convergence rate O(h(k+1) + (Delta t)(2) + (Delta t)(alpha/2) h(k+1/2)) through analysis. Extensive numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the present method.
