Fractional discontinuous Galerkin methods for Volterra integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels
摘要
In this paper, we develop a discontinuous Galerkin method for solving Volterra integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels. To adapt the weak singularity of the solution, we construct an hp-version discontinuous Galerkin scheme based on fractional orthogonal polynomials, and derive hp-version error estimates over arbitrary meshes. Our analysis shows that, when the exponent of the weakly singular convolution kernel is a rational number, the proposed method attains p-version exponential convergence and exhibits no h-version order barrier. Numerical results confirm the validity of the method and support the theoretical findings.
