On Stability of Second-Order and Forth-Order Compact Finite Difference Methods for Solving Fuzzy Time Fractional Wave Equation in Double Parametric Form of Fuzzy Numbers
In this paper, the stability of four finite difference methods—namely the Centre Time Centre Space (CTCS) method, the Crank-Nicolson method, the Compact Crank-Nicolson scheme, and the Compact Centre Time Centre Space (CCTCS) method—previously presented by the authors in earlier publications, is examined and analysed. The stability analysis of these schemes is conducted using the von Neumann (Fourier) method for the fuzzy time-fractional wave equation without a source term, expressed in the double-parametric form of a fuzzy number. The Caputo definition is used for the time-fractional derivative. The analysis reveals that the CTCS and CCTCS methods are conditionally stable, whereas the Crank-Nicolson and Compact Crank-Nicolson schemes are unconditionally stable.
