A numerical method for the modified time fractional Fokker-Planck equation is proposed. Stability and convergence of the method are rigorously discussed by means of the Fourier method. We prove that the difference scheme is unconditionally stable, and convergence order isO(τ+h4), whereτandhare the temporal and spatial step sizes, respectively. Finally, numerical results are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Abstract First, a new convergence analysis is given for the semidiscrete (finite elements in space) numerical method that is used in Le et al. (2016, Numerical solution of the time-fractional Fokker–Planck equation with general forcing. SIAM J. Numer. Anal.,54 1763–1784) to solve the time-fractional Fokker–Planck equation on a domain $\varOmega \times [0,T]$ with general forcing, i.e., where the forcing term is a function of both space and time. Stability and convergence are proved in a fractional norm that is stronger than the $L^2(\varOmega )$ norm used in the above paper. Furthermore, unlike the bounds proved in Le et al., the constant multipliers in our analysis do not blow up as the order of the fractional derivative $\alpha $ approaches the classical value of $1$. Secondly, for the semidiscrete (L1 scheme in time) method for the same Fokker–Planck problem, we present a new $L^2(\varOmega )$ convergence proof that avoids a flaw in the analysis of Le et al.’s paper for the semidiscrete (backward Euler scheme in time) method.

For the Fokker-Planck-equation for a plasma the system of moment equations is derived. The highest order moments considered are the components of the heat flux. For these the condition must be satisfied that they are small compared with (5/2) p √p/ϱe. All moments of lower order, especially the difference velocity of electrons and ions (i.e. the electrical current) and the anisotropy of pressure are arbitrary in this approximation.

This paper presents a practical numerical method, an implicit finite-difference scheme for solving a two-dimensional time-space fractional Fokker–Planck equation with space–time depending on variable coefficients and source term, which represents a model of a Brownian particle in a periodic potential. The Caputo derivative and the Riemann–Liouville derivative are considered in the temporal and spatial directions, respectively. The Riemann–Liouville derivative is approximated by the standard Grünwald approximation and the shifted Grünwald approximation. The stability and convergence of the numerical scheme are discussed. Finally, we provide a numerical example to test the theoretical analysis.

In this paper we apply the modified Chapman-Enskog expansion procedure to find the asymptotic solution of the Fokker-Planck equation related to Brownian motion. We prove that the asymptotic solution is defined by the diffusion equation and show that the difference between the exact and asymptotic solutions is of order ε2 where 1/ε is related to the magnitude of the collision operator.

AbstractIn this paper, a new numerical algorithm for solving the time fractional Fokker-Planck equation is proposed. The analysis of local truncation error and the stability of this method are investigated. Theoretical analysis and numerical experiments show that the proposed method has higher order of accuracy for solving the time fractional Fokker-Planck equation.
