Title: "Optimal error estimate of spectral Galerkin and collocation methods for fractional differential equations"
Time: Tuesday, March 10, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm
Location: Textiles 105

Abstract: We present optimal error estimates for spectral Galerkin methods and spectral collocation methods for linear fractional differential equations with initial value or boundary values on a finite interval. The key feature of the error estimates is that the estimate can accommodate the end-point singularity of the solutions to these equations. We also develop Laguerre spectral Petrov-Galerkin methods and collocation methods for fractional equations on the half line. Numerical results confirm the error estimates.
