Abstract

This paper is concerned with a compact difference scheme with the truncation error of order 3/2 for time and order 4 for space to an evolution equation with a weakly singular kernel. The integral term is treated by means of the second order convolution quadrature suggested by Lubich. The stability and convergence are proved by the energy method. A numerical experiment is reported to verify the theoretical predictions.
