TY - JOUR TI - The numerical solution of the time-fractional non-linear Klein-Gordon equation via spectral collocation method AU - Yang Yin AU - Yang Xingfa AU - Wang Jindi AU - Liu Jie JN - Thermal Science PY - 2019 VL - 23 IS - 3 SP - 1529 EP - 1537 PT - Article AB - In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of the time-fractional non-linear Klein-Gordon equation. We propose a spectral collocation method in both temporal and spatial discretizations with a spectral expansion of Jacobi interpolation polynomial for this equation. A rigorous error analysis is provided for the spectral methods to show both the errors of approximate solutions and the errors of approximate derivatives of the solutions decaying exponentially in infinity-norm and weighted L2-norm. Numerical tests are carried out to confirm the theoretical results.
