Abstract In this article, a high-order scheme, which is formulated by combining the
quadratic finite element method in space with a second-order time discrete scheme, is
developed for looking for the numerical solution of a two-dimensional nonlinear time
fractional thermal diffusion model. The time Caputo fractional derivative is approximated
by using the L2 -1 σ formula, the first-order derivative and nonlinear term are discretized
by some second-order approximation formulas, and the quadratic finite element is used to
approximate the spatial direction. The error accuracy O(h 3 + ∆t 2 ) is obtained, which is
verified by the numerical More >
