Symmetric fractional order reduction method with $L1$ scheme on graded mesh for time fractional nonlocal diffusion-wave equation of Kirchhoff type

In this article, we propose a linearized fully-discrete scheme for solving a time fractional nonlocal diffusion-wave equation of Kirchhoff type. The scheme is established by using the finite element method in space and the $L1$ scheme in time. We derive the $\alpha$-robust \textit{a priori} bound and \textit{a priori} error estimate for the fully-discrete solution in $L^{{\infty}\big(H1_0(\Omega)\big)$} norm, where $\alpha \in (1,2)$ is the order of time fractional derivative. Finally, we perform some numerical experiments to verify the theoretical results.
