Advances in Difference Equations volume 2018, Article number: 305 (2018)
Abstract
In the present work, a hybrid transform-based localized meshless method is constructed for the solution of time-fractional telegraph equations. In the first step the Laplace transform is applied to the time-fractional telegraph equation, which reduces the problem to a finite set of elliptic equations which are solved with the help of local radial basis functions method in parallel. Finally, the solution is represented as an integral along a smooth curve in the complex plane. The integral is then evaluated by quadrature rule. The advantage of this method is that it does not suffer from time instability that may occur in a time stepping procedure. A clear improvement is observed in terms of stability, accuracy and ill-conditioning.
1 Introduction
Fractional calculus is the generalization of differentiation and integration to non-integer orders. Fractional calculus has gained special importance in the last two or three decades. Many phenomena in engineering and other sciences can be successfully modeled by fractional calculus [1–7]. The telegraph equations have many applications in physics and engineering. The applications arise, for example, in signal analysis [8], random walk theory [9], wave propagation [10].
The telegraph equations of fractional order have been investigated by many researchers. The solution of space–time-fractional telegraph equation in a bounded domain is obtained in terms of Mittage-Leffler functions by the method of generalized differential transform [11]. Das et al. [12] used a homotopy analysis method in approximating an analytical solution for the time-fractional telegraph equation and different particular cases have been derived. In [13] Jiang and Lin obtained a series solution for the time-fractional telegraph equation with Robin boundary value conditions using the reproducing kernel theorem. Saadatmandi and Mohabbati [14] have used the Tau method for the approximation of fractional telegraph equation. Liu et al. [15] derived the analytical solution of the nonhomogeneous time-fractional telegraph equation by considering three types of nonhomogeneous boundary conditions using the method of separation of variables. In [16] the authors approximated the solution of fractional telegraph equation using radial basis functions. More work on fractional telegraph equations can be found in [17–19], and the references therein.
In the present work, the Laplace transform is coupled with localized kernel-based method, and the resulting hybrid method is investigated for solving telegraph equations of fractional order. Following the work [20], the Bromwich integral associated with the inverse Laplace transform is approximated numerically with standard quadrature of M steps. By increasing M round off errors will occur which will make it difficult to find the true solution. The authors in [21] present a method that can safeguard against this. The combination of Laplace transform with some other methods have been successfully achieved earlier and is available in the literature, but only a small amount of work is available. For example, the Laplace transform coupled with the boundary-particle method [22] and the Kansa method [23]. Similarly the authors of [24] studied the combination of Laplace transform with the RBF method on a unit sphere for solving the heat equation. The combination of Laplace transform with the finite element, the finite difference and the spectral methods can be found in Refs. [25–29]. We consider a time-fractional telegraph equation of fractional order \(\frac{1}{2} < \alpha \leq 1 \) of the form
subject to initial and boundary conditions
and
respectively, where \(\mathcal{L}\) is a linear spatial differential operator and \(\mathcal{B}\) is a boundary differential operator and \({}_{C}D^{\alpha }_{t}\) is the Caputo fractional partial derivative of order α.
2 Preliminaries
In this section, we give some important definitions about fractional calculus.
Definition 2.1
Let the Laplace transform of \(u(t)\) be defined by
Definition 2.2
The Riemann–Liouville derivative of fractional order α of a function \(u(t)\) is defined as (see [30])
where \(p-1 \leq \alpha \leq p\), \(p \in \mathbf{N}\).
Definition 2.3
The Caputo fractional partial derivative of order α of a function \(u(t)\) is defined by (see [30]).
\(p-1\leq \alpha \leq p\), \(p\in \mathbf{N}\).
Definition 2.4
If \(u(t)\in C^{p}[0,\infty )\) and \(p-1<\alpha <p\), \(p \in \mathbf{N}\), then the Laplace transform of the Caputo fractional derivative is given by
3 Analysis of the method
In this section, we propose a meshless method based on Laplace transform for time-fractional telegraph equation. In the proposed method we eliminate the time variable by a Laplace transform and for the time independent PDE, the localized meshless numerical scheme will be constructed.
Applying the Laplace transform to Eqs. (1.1)–(1.3), we get
Thus we have the following system of linear differential equations:
where
In the next section the kernel-based method in local setting is employed to approximate the governing differential operators \(\mathcal{L}\) and the boundary differential operator \(\mathcal{B}\) and to solve the time independent problem (3.3)–(3.4) in Laplace space.
3.1 Spatial discretization via local kernel based method
We take a given sample data points \(\{U(\mathbf{x}_{i}), i=1,2,\ldots,N \}\) of an unknown smooth function \(U(\mathbf{x})\), where \(\{ \mathbf{x}_{1},\ldots,\mathbf{x}_{N}\}\subset \Omega \subset \mathcal{R} ^{d}\), \(d\geq 1\). An approximation of the function \(U(\mathbf{x})\), at each \(\mathbf{x}_{i} \in \Omega \), is defined by
where \(\boldsymbol{\alpha }^{i}=[\alpha^{i}_{1},\alpha^{i}_{2},\ldots,\alpha ^{i}_{n}]\) is the expansion coefficients vector, and \(r=\Vert \mathbf{x}_{i}-\mathbf{x}_{h} \Vert \) is the distance between centers \(\mathbf{x} _{i}\) and \(\mathbf{x}_{h}\), \(\psi (r)\), \(r \geq 0\) is a radial kernel and \(\Omega_{i}\subset \Omega \) is a local domain for each center \(\mathbf{x}_{i}\), containing n neighboring centers around \(\mathbf{x}_{i}\). Thus we have N small size linear systems of order \(n \times n\) given by
the entries of \(\Psi^{i}\) are \(b^{i}_{lh}=\psi (\Vert \mathbf{x}_{l}-\mathbf{x}_{h} \Vert ),\mathbf{x}_{l},\mathbf{x}_{h} \in \Omega_{i}\), the matrix \(\Psi^{i}\) is known as the interpolation matrix, we need to solve each small size \(n\times n\) system for the unknowns \(\boldsymbol{\alpha } ^{i}=[\alpha^{i}_{1},\alpha^{i}_{2},\ldots,\alpha^{i}_{n}]\). Next the \(\mathcal{L}U(\mathbf{x})\), is approximated by
Equation (3.7) can be written as a product of two vectors, given by
where \(\boldsymbol{\alpha }^{i}\) of order \(n\times 1\) is a vector of unknown coefficients, and \(\mathbf{v}^{i}\) is a vector of order \(1 \times n\) with entries given by
using Eq. (3.6), we eliminate the unknown coefficients,
and by inserting the values of \(\boldsymbol{\alpha }^{i}\) from (3.10) in (3.8) we get
where
Hence for each center, the localized approximation of the linear differential operator \(\mathcal{L}\) using radial basis functions is given by
So the spatial operator \(\mathcal{L}\) is approximated by the \(N\times N\) sparse differentiation matrix D having \(N-n\) zero entries and n non-zero entries, where n is the number of centers in the domain \(\Omega_{i}\). Similarly the boundary operator \(\mathcal{B}\) can be approximated using the localized kernel-based method as discussed above.
3.2 Choosing optimal shape parameter
In the literature we can find a variety of kernel functions. In this work the multiquadrics, \(\psi (r)=\sqrt{1+(\varepsilon r)^{2}}\) are selected. These kernels contain a scale factor ε and accuracy of the solution relies upon this scale factor. For an optimal value of this scale factor ε a large amount of work is available in the literature [31–35] and the references therein. In this paper we utilize the uncertainty principle [36] (e.g., a better accuracy can be achieved comparatively at larger condition numbers of these type of kernel based system matrices) for a decent estimation of the scale factor ε.
Algorithm
-
The condition number is kept approximately in the range \(10^{12}< \kappa <10^{16}\) for our problem system matrices.
-
Decompose the interpolation matrix as \(\mathbf{Q,S,V}=\operatorname{svd}(\Psi^{i})\) using a singular value decomposition. The interpolation matrix \(\Psi^{i}\) is of order \(n \times n\) for each local subdomain \(\Omega_{i}\), and S is diagonal matrix containing n singular values of \(\Psi^{i}\), and \(\kappa =\Vert \Psi^{i} \Vert \Vert (\Psi^{i})^{-1} \Vert =\mbox{max}(\mathbf{S})/\mbox{min}(\mathbf{S})\) denotes the condition number of the matrix \(\Psi^{i}\).
-
Search for ε until κ satisfy the condition \(10^{12}<\kappa <10^{16}\), using the algorithm
\(\kappa =1\)
\(10^{12}<\kappa <10^{16}\)
while \(\kappa <\kappa_{\min}\) and \(\kappa >\kappa_{\max}\)
\(\mathbf{Q,S,V}=\operatorname{svd}(\Psi^{i})\)
\(\kappa =\max(\mathbf{S})/\min(\mathbf{S})\)
if \(\kappa <\kappa_{\min}\), \(\varepsilon =\varepsilon -\delta\varepsilon \)
if \(\kappa >\kappa_{\max}\), \(\varepsilon =\varepsilon +\delta \varepsilon \)
\(\varepsilon {(\mbox{optimal})}=\varepsilon \).
When the above condition is satisfied a good value of ε is obtained, the inverse is
computed using \(({\Psi^{i}})^{-1}=\mathbf{(QSV^{T})}^{-1}=\mathbf{V}\mathbf{S}^{-1}\mathbf{Q}^{T}\) [37]. Thus we can compute \(\mathbf{w}^{i}\) in
(3.12).
After discretization of the operators \(\mathcal{L}\) and \(\mathcal{B}\) by a localized meshless method the system (3.3)–(3.4) is solved for each point along the contour of integration z. Then the solution \(u(\mathbf{x},t)\) of problem (1.1)–(1.3) can be obtained by the inverse Laplace transform
where Γ is suitable path joining \(\sigma -i\infty \) to \(\sigma +i\infty \) and
are the points chosen along the path Γ. Using (3.15) in (3.14), we find the following expression:
The approximation of (3.16) can be obtained by the trapezoidal rule with uniform step size k, as
4 Error analysis of the method
The accuracy of the approximate solution defined by (3.17) is based on the choice of contour Γ. In the literature various such contours are available, for example parabolic [20] and hyperbolic [27]. We used the hyperbolic contour in our computation due to [27]:
with \(\lambda > 0\), \(\omega \geq 0\), \(0 < \delta < \beta - \frac{1}{2}\pi \), and \(\frac{1}{2}\pi < \beta < \pi \). In fact, when \(\operatorname{Im} \eta =\gamma \), (4.1) reduces to the left branch of the hyperbola
where the strip \(Z_{r}=\{\eta : \operatorname{Im} \eta \leq r\}\) with \(r > 0\) is transformed into the hyperbola \(\Omega_{r}=\{z: \eta \in Z_{r}\} \supset \Gamma \). Let \(\Sigma_{\phi }=\{z \neq 0 :\vert \arg z \vert \leq \phi \} \cup 0\), with \(0<\phi <\frac{(1-\alpha )\phi }{2}\), and let \(\Sigma^{\omega }_{\beta }=\omega +\Sigma_{\beta }, \Gamma \subset \Omega_{r}\subset \Sigma^{\omega }_{\beta }\). The error bound of the proposed method for the hyperbolic path Γ is based on the following theorem.
Theorem 4.1
Let \(u(\mathbf{x},t)\) be the solution of (1.1), with \(F( \mathbf{x},t)\) analytic in \(\Sigma^{\omega }_{\beta }\). Let \(0<\theta < 1\), \(0< t_{0}< T\), and let \(b>0\) be defined by \(b=\cosh^{-1}(1/( \theta \tau \sin (\delta )))\), where \(\tau =t_{0}/T\), and let \(\Gamma \subset \Omega_{r}\subset \Sigma^{\omega }_{\beta }\), and scaling factor be \(\lambda = \theta \overline{r}M/(bT)\). Then we have for the approximate solution defined by (3.17), with \(k=b/M\leq \frac{ \overline{r}}{\log 2}\), \(\vert u_{k}(\mathbf{x},t)-u(\mathbf{x},t) \vert \leq CQe ^{\omega \tau }l(\rho_{r}M)e^{-\mu M} ( \Vert u_{0} \Vert +\Vert \hat{f}(\mathbf{x},t) \Vert _{\Sigma^{\omega }_{\beta }} ) \), for \(l(x)=\max(1,\log(1/x))\), \(r>0\), \(\mu =\overline{r}(1-\theta )/b\), \(\overline{r}=2\pi r \), \(\rho_{r}= \theta \overline{r} \tau \sin ( \delta -r)/b\), \(t_{0}\leq t \leq T\), and \(C=C_{\delta ,r,\beta }\).
Proof
See [27], Theorem 2.1. □
5 Stability of the method
To discuss the stability of system (3.3)–(3.4), in discrete form this system may be represented as
where A is \(N\times N\) sparse differentiation matrix which can be obtained by localized kernel-based method discussed in Sect. 3. the stability constant corresponding to system (5.1) is given by
where C is finite using any type of discrete norms \(\Vert \cdot \Vert \) on \(R^{N}\). The above equation can be expressed as
Again in terms of the pseudoinverse \(A^{\dagger} \) of A, we have
Now we write
Hence Eqs. (5.3) and (5.5) ensure the boundedness of the stability constant C. For a numerical approximation of the system (5.1) the calculation of the pseudoinverse may be computationally expansive, but it ensures numerical stability. In the case of square systems, the MATLAB’s function condest estimates \(\Vert A^{-1} \Vert _{\infty }\), thus we have
This works well for our sparse matrix A with a small amount of computations. The bounds of stability constant C of our system (3.3)–(3.4) corresponding to Problem 1 are shown in Fig. 1. Choosing \(M=90\), \(N=50\) and \(n=7\) at time \(t=1\), we can see that \(0.0088 \leq C \leq 1.7401\), which shows the stability constant is bounded by numbers that are not very large, and this implies the numerical stability of localized kernel-based numerical scheme.
6 Numerical results
In this section the proposed method is tested for one dimensional time-fractional telegraph equations. In our computations the multiquadrics \(\psi (r)\) = \((1+(\varepsilon r)^{2})^{1/2}\) are used. The accuracy of the solution depends on the shape parameter ε. A number of criteria are available in the literature for choosing optimal values of the shape parameters. We use the uncertainty principle due to [36] to select the optimal shape parameter. The accuracy of the proposed method is measured by the maximum absolute error (\(L_{\infty }\)) defined by
Here u and \(u_{k}\) denotes the exact and approximate solutions, respectively. The error norms are calculated at fixed value of t in time interval \([t_{0}, T]\), where \(t_{0}\) and T are given in each numerical experiment.
6.1 Problem 1
Here we apply our proposed numerical method to the one dimensional time-fractional telegraph equation [13],
where
subject to the initial condition
and the boundary conditions
with exact solution \(u(x,t)= e^{x} t^{2}\). The problem is solved over the domain \(0 \leq x \leq 1\) at \(t=1\). Different quadrature points are used along the hyperbolic Γ contour. These points are generated by MATLAB statement \(\eta = -M:k:M\) for hyperbolic contour Γ. The parameters used are \(\theta =0.1, \delta =0.1541, r=0.1387, \omega =2, t_{0}=0.5\) and \(T=5\). The other optimal parameters are given in (4.1). The \(L_{\infty }\) error and error estimate (E) using fractional orders \(\alpha = 0.8,0.96\) are shown in Table 1. Various numbers of points N in the global domain Ω and n in the local domain \(\Omega_{i}\) are used. The shape parameter is optimized using the uncertainty principle [36]. The condition number κ, the shape parameter ε and the CPU time(s) are given in the table. It is observed that the proposed method is less sensitive with respect to the shape parameter. The accuracy is achieved for small shape parameter and large condition number. The results are compared with other methods [13]. It is observed that the proposed method is accurate and computationally efficient. This method gives an almost exact solution in time, an error occurs only in spatial discretization. So we can approximate the telegraph equation very accurately in time without any time instability issue. The local nature of the method makes it more attractive for such a type of problems.
6.2 Problem 2
Next we consider the one dimensional time-fractional telegraph equation with \(\alpha =\frac{2}{3}\),
where
subject to the initial condition
and the boundary conditions
The exact solution of the problem is \(u(x,t)=(t^{3}+1)\sin (x+1)\). Here the problem is solved over the domain \([0,1]\) at time \(t=1\). Various quadrature points along the hyperbolic path Γ are used. These points are generated by the MATLAB statement \(\eta = -M:k:M\). The parameters used are \(\theta =0.1\), \(\delta =0.1541\), \(r=0.1387\), \(\omega =2\), \(t_{0}=0.5\) and \(T=5\). The other optimal parameters are given in Eq. (4.1). The \(L_{\infty }\) error and error estimate (E) using fractional order \(\alpha = \frac{2}{3}\) are shown in Table 2. Various numbers of points N in the global domain Ω and n in the local domain \(\Omega_{i}\) are used. The shape parameter is optimized using the uncertainty principle [36]. The condition number κ, the shape parameter ε and the CPU time(s) are given in Table 2. A similar performance is observed to the one we observed in Problem 1.
6.3 Problem 3
As a third example we consider the one dimensional time-fractional telegraph equation with \(\alpha \in (1,2]\) [16]
where
subject to the initial condition \(u(x,0)= u_{t}(x,0)=0\), \(0< x<1\), and the boundary conditions are chosen according to the exact solution \(u(x,t)= t^{3}(\sin (x))^{2}\). Here we tested our method for the one dimensional telegraph equation in domain \([0,1]\) at time \(t=1\). We used the same hyperbolic contour and the same optimal parameters as discussed in Problem 1 and Problem 2. The absolute errors and error estimate for the contour Γ are shown in Table 3 using fractional order \(\alpha = 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 1.95\). The error functions are shown in Fig. 2, which are calculated for \(N=11\) and \(n=4\). These results can be improved by increasing N. It is observed that as we increase the value of α the absolute error decreases. From Table 3 and Fig. 2 a clear improvement is observed as compared to [16]. So the proposed method is an excellent alternative for solving the fractional order telegraph equations.
6.4 Problem 4
In the last example we consider the one dimensional time-fractional telegraph equation with \(\alpha \in (1,2]\) [38]
where
subject to the initial condition
and the boundary conditions are
Exact solution of the problem is \(u(x,t)=(x^{2}-x)t\). The problem is solved over the domain \([0,1]\) at time \(t=1\). The same hyperbolic contour Γ and the same optimal parameters are used in this problem. The absolute errors and error estimate for the contour Γ are shown in Table 4 using fractional order \(\alpha = 1.95\). The result given in Table 4 shows that the proposed method is accurate and efficient as compared to [38]. So the proposed method is an excellent alternative for solving the fractional order telegraph equations.
7 Conclusion
In the present work, we propose a local meshless method coupled with the Laplace transform for a time-fractional telegraph equation. The method is almost exact in time without any time instability, which is commonly encountered in time stepping mesh-free methods. These time stepping methods require a very small time step for greater accuracy on the expense of large computations. We tested our procedure for 1D telegraph equations with time-fractional orders. The accuracy and performance of the methods is excellent for solving time-fractional telegraph equations. The proposed hybrid mesh-free method is an excellent alternative for solving time-fractional partial differential equations.
