Abstract

In this paper, the space fractional wave equation (SFWE) is numerically studied, where the fractional derivative is defined in the sense of Caputo. An explicit finite difference approximation (EFDA) for SFWE is presented. The stability and the error analysis of the EFDA are discussed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approximated method, some test examples are presented.
