Abstract
The paper constructs a fast efficient numerical scheme for the nonlocal evolution equation with three weakly singular kernels in three-dimensional space. In the temporal direction, We apply the backward Euler (BE) alternating direction implicit (ADI) method for the time derivative, simultaneously the first-order convolution quadrature formula is employed to deal with Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional integral term. In order to obtain a completely discrete implicit difference scheme, we use the standard central finite difference method (FDM) in space. The stability and convergence of the BE ADI difference scheme are proved rigorously with the convergence order O(τ+h2) in which h and τ are corresponding on the step size of space and time respectively. The ADI algorithm greatly reduces the computational cost of the three-dimensional problem. At last, several numerical results are given to verify that the numerical results are in agreement with our theoretical analysis.
