报告内容简介：
In recent year, fractional partial differential equations and related nonlocal models, which provide an adequate and accurate description of phenomena that exhibits long-range spatial interactions, attract increasingly more attention.
Computationally, because of the nonlocal property of fractional differential operators, the numerical methods for these problems often generate dense/full stiffness matrices. Traditionally, direct methods were used to solve these problems, which require O(N3) computations (per time step) and O(N2) mememy, where N is the number of unknowns.
We go over the development of accurate and efficient numerical methods for fractional PDEs and related nonlocal models, which has an optimal order storage and almost linear computational complexity. These methods were developed by utilizing the structure of the stiffness matrices. No lossy compression or approximation was used. Hence, these methods retaining the same accuracy and approximation/conservation property of the underlying numerical methods. We will also discuss open problems that occur in related research.
