摘要
The numerical solution of a 1D fractional Laplacian boundary value problem is studied. Although the fractional Laplacian is one of the most important and prominent nonlocal operators, its numerical analysis is challenging, partly because the problem's solution has in general a weak singularity at the boundary of the domain. To solve the problem numerically, we use piecewise linear collocation on a mesh that is graded to handle the boundary singularity. A rigorous analysis yields a bound on the maximum nodal error which shows how the order of convergence of the method depends on the grading of the mesh; hence, one can determine the optimal mesh grading. Numerical results are presented that confirm the sharpness of the error analysis.
