On the finite element approximation for fractional fast diffusion equations
Considering fractional fast diffusion equations on bounded open polyhedral domains in R^N, we give a fully Galerkin approximation of the solutions by C^0-piecewise linear finite elements in space and backward Euler discretization in time, a priori estimates and the rates of convergence for the approximate solutions are proved, which extends the results of Carsten Ebmeyer and Wen Bin Liu, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 46(2008), pp. 2393–2410. We also generalize the a priori estimates and the rates of convergence to a parabolic integral equation under the framework of Qiang Du, Max Gunzburger, Richaed B. Lehoucq and Kun Zhou, SIAM Rev., 54 (2012), no. 4, pp. 667–696.
