Résumé

In this paper, we consider a two-term time-fractional diffusion-wave equation which involves the fractional orders α ∈ (1, 2) and β ∈ (0, 1), respectively. By using piecewise linear Galerkin finite element method in space and convolution quadrature based on second-order backward difference method in time, we obtain a robust fully discrete scheme. Error estimates for semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes are established with respect to nonsmooth data. Numerical experiments for two-dimensional problems are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the method and conform the theoretical results.
