Abstract
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this work, two fully novel finite difference schemes for two-dimensional time-fractional mixed diffusion and diffusion-wave equation (TFMDDWEs) are presented. Firstly, a Hermite and Newton quadratic interpolation polynomial have been used for time discretization and central quotient has used in spatial direction. The H2N2 finite difference is constructed. Secondly, in order to increase computational efficiency, the sum-of-exponential is used to approximate the kernel function in the fractional-order operator. The fast H2N2 finite difference is obtained. Thirdly, the stability and convergence of two schemes are studied by energy method. When the tolerance error <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \epsilon $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> of fast algorithm is sufficiently small, it proves that both of difference schemes are of <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ 3-\beta\; (1&lt;\beta&lt;2) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> order convergence in time and of second order convergence in space. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the theoretical convergence and effectiveness of the fast algorithm.</p>
