Tis as man applications in psics, cemistr, engineering, etc. For tat reason, we need a metod for solving suc equations, effectivel, eas use and applied for different problems. Te objective of tis paper is to solve fractional elliptic partial differential equations, b using new accelerated version of rotated five point s approimation metod. Eperiment results of te test problem are given in order to confirm te superiorit of our proposed metod. Kewords: Rotated Finite Difference Approimation Metod Fractional Elliptic Partial Differential Equations.. Introduction Fast computational metods for solving partial differential equations using finite difference scemes derived from sewed (rotated) difference operators ave been etensivel investigated over te ears. Tese Iterative metods based on te rotated finite difference approimations ave been sown to be muc faster tan te metods based on te standard five-point formula in solving te partial differential equations wic is due to te formers overall lower computational compleities ([,,3,4,5]). Fractional Partial Differential Equations (FPDE's) can be seen as a generalization of te classical partial differential equations (PDE's) in te sense tat it taes into account te memor and ereditar properties of te psical penomena ([6,7]). As it was in te classical PDE's tere is no general metod tat can be used in solving FPDE's. Numerical solution of FPDE's as received great progress in te recent ears ([8,9]) * Corresponding autor. 6

Because of compleit in te teoretic analsis of numerical approimation of fractional sstems, te common approac is to appl te finite difference metod to discretize fractional derivative operators, and ten obtain te numerical solutions of te fractional partial differential equations. Furtermore, Goloviznin and is colleagues [] developed a numerical metod for solving some -D equations wit fractional derivatives. Te paper is organized in five sections: Section describes te formulation of te Rotated Point Iterative Metod for solving te fractional Poisson s equation. In Section 3, te proposed accelerated version of rotated five point s approimation metod will be given. In Section 4, te numerical results are presented in order to sow te efficienc of te new proposed metod. Finall, te conclusion is given in Section 5.. Formulation of te Rotated Point Iterative Metod for solving te Fractional Poisson s equation Consider te Poisson s equation in te form: ( + ) u (, ) F (, ), (, ) D (.) Were: D {(, ) : (, ) [, L] [, L ]}. Subject to te Diriclet-boundar conditions: u(, ) u (,) ul (, ), and ul (, ) g ( ) Beibalaev and is colleagues [8] considered te fractional Poisson s equation in te form: ( + ) u (, ) F (, ), were, (.) subject to te same Diriclet-boundar conditions of equation (.). Now, we consider te corresponding fractional order Elliptic b te form: ( + ) u (, ) F (, ), were (, ) (.3) It can be seen tat equation (.3) is a generalization to equations (.) and (.). Te simplest standard five-point finite difference approimation of te Laplacian is 6

If te standard five-point finite difference is used, ten te finite difference formula of Caputo s fractional derivative will tae te form: i c + Γ( ) s us (, ) D u(, ) ( s) ds c Dui, j b ui +, j ui, j+ u i, j (3 ) Γ i ( ) (.) were b + let, [( ) ] b * s b b bs b Γ(3 b ), b Γ(3 ) Ten, te finite difference sceme for equation (.3) will be given in te form: i * ( +,, +, ) + j b ui j ui j ui j bs( ui, j s+ ui, j s+ ui, j s ) f s were f f(, ).

Teoreticall, it can be seen tat te coefficients matrices resulting from sstems (.4) and (.5) are nonsingulars, so te sstem (3.) as unique solution ([5]). In addition to tat te coefficients matri A is strictl diagonal dominant, ten A is non-singular and sstems (.8) and (.9) ave a unique solution for ( <, < ). Since it is well nown tat preconditioners pla a vital role in accelerating te convergence rates of iterative metods, several preconditioned strategies ave been used for improving te convergence rate of te iterative metods derived from te standard and sewed (rotated) finite difference operators ([4], [5]). A well-designed 66

7 American Scientific Researc Journal for Engineering, Tecnolog, and Sciences (ASRJETS) (6) Volume 6, No, pp 6-7 preconditioning of te PDE and FPDE problems reduces te number of iterations to reac convergence. Dramatic improvements are possible, but te difficult is to construct te suitable preconditioner. In general, a good preconditioner sould satisf te following prosperities: te first one is tat, te preconditioned sstem sould be eas to solve and te second one is tat te preconditioner sould be ceap to construct and appl. Usuall te sstem (3.) is large and te matri A is sparse. Furtermore, matri A can be write as A D L U (3.) were D is diagonal matri A, L is strictl lower triangular parts of A and U is strictl upper triangular parts of A. A preconditioner ( I + ML ) were < original sstem (3.) to te following sstem: M is used to modif te ( I + ML) Au ( I + ML) f (3.3) A preconditioner P ( I + ML) is a matri tat transforms te original sstem (3.) into new sstem (3.3) tat is equivalent in te sense tat it as te same solution, but tat as more favourable spectral properties. 4. Numerical Results and Discussion In te first part of tis section, we ave compared between te spectral radiuses of te iteration matri corresponding to te resulting sstem of rotated five-point finite difference (original sstem) and te preconditioned sstem for different values of, suc tat (, ). Table sows te comparison of te spectral radius between te original and te preconditioned sstems. Clearl it can be seen tat te spectral radius of te preconditioned sstem is smaller compared to te original sstem, tus justifing te superiorit of te preconditioned sstem against te original sstem wic is quite agreeing wit te results obtained in te previous wor ([3,4,8]).
