文摘A high order finite difference-spectral method is derived for solving space fractional diffusion equations,by combining the second order finite difference method in time and the spectral Galerkin method in space.The stability and error estimates of the temporal semidiscrete scheme are rigorously discussed,and the convergence order of the proposed method is proved to be O(τ2+Nα-m)in L2-norm,whereτ,N,αand m are the time step size,polynomial degree,fractional derivative index and regularity of the exact solution,respectively.Numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.
