Jacobi spectral method for the fractional reaction–diffusion equation arising in ecology

Abstract

In this paper, we study fractional reaction–diffusion equation using Jacobi spectral method. Reaction–diffusion equation is used as model for spatial effects in ecology. In this method, the reaction–diffusion equation is changed to the systems of equations. Convergence analysis for the proposed spectral method is established from theoretical as well as numerical point of view. Some numerical examples are solved using proposed numerical method showing the feasibility of the method. The efficiency of the spectral method is shown by listing CPU time of computation.
