Description
Summary:In this paper, an effective numerical method for solving the variable-order(VO) fractional reaction diffusion equation with the Caputo fractional derivative is constructed and analyzed. Based on the generalized alternating numerical flux, we get a fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the problem. From a practical standpoint, the generalized alternating numerical flux, which is distinct from the purely alternating numerical flux, has a more extensive scope. For $ 0 < \alpha(t) < 1 $, we prove that the method is unconditionally stable and the errors attain $ (k+1) $-th order of accuracy for piecewise $ P^k $ polynomials. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to show the effectiveness and verify the accuracy of the method.
