    • Abstract

       

      This paper presents a difference scheme by considering cubic B-spline quasi-interpolation for the numerical solution of a fourth-order time-fractional integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel. The fractional derivative of the mentioned equation has been described in the Caputo sense. Time fractionalderivative is approximated by a scheme of order O2-α) and the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral term is discretized by the fractional trapezoidal formula. The spatial second derivative has been approximated using thesecond derivative of the cubic B-spline quasi-interpolation. The discrete scheme leads to the solution of a system of linear equations. We show that the proposed scheme is stable and convergent. In addition, we have shown that the order of convergence is O2-α + h2). Finally, various numerical examples are presented to support the fruitfulness and validity of the numerical scheme.
