Abstract
A novel second-order numerical approximation for the Riemann–Liouville tempered fractional derivative, called the tempered fractional-compact difference formula is derived by using the tempered Grünwald difference operator and its asymptotic expansion. Using the relationship between Riemann–Liouville and the Caputo tempered fractional derivatives, then the constructed approximation formula is applied to deal with the time-Caputo-tempered partial differential equation in time, while the spatial Riesz derivative are discretized by the fourth-order compact numerical differential formulas. By using the energy method, it is proved that the proposed algorithm to be unconditionally stable and convergent with order \({\mathcal {O}}\left( \tau ^2+h_1^4+h_2^4\right) \), where \(\tau \) is the temporal stepsize and \(h_1,h_2\) are the spatial stepsizes respectively. Finally, some numerical examples are performed to testify the effectiveness of the obtained algorithm.

Appendix
Appendix
Below, we consider the Eq. (1) with nonzero initial value condition,
Based on Eq. (4), then Eq. (1) can be further transformed into
Using the previous method, we can obtain the following difference scheme with convergence order \({\mathcal {O}}\left( \tau ^2+h_1^4+h_2^4\right) \) for Eq. (36) with (35) and (3),
and their corresponding matrix form can be constructed as follows,
where
and
For the difference scheme (40) with (41) and (42), we can get similar stability result, hat is to say, the difference scheme (40)–(42) is unconditionally stable with respect to the initial value and the source term.
Next, we give a simple but tedious proof. Taking the inner product of Eq. (40) with \({\mathscr {L}}\mathbf {{U}}^{k}\) leads to
Like inequality (27), we also can get
Noting previous results
and
and once again using (43) and (44), one can get the following result
where
Denote \({\mathbf {U}}^k_\lambda =e^{\lambda k\tau }{\mathbf {U}}^k\), then from (45), it leads to that
Let
then (46) can be further written as
Same as the previous proof process, we can easily get the following result based on (48) and the mathematical induction,
Note that \(\left\| \mathbf {{U}}^{k}_\lambda \right\| ^2 =\left\| e^{\lambda k\tau }\mathbf {{U}}^{k}\right\| ^2 =e^{2\lambda k\tau }\left\| \mathbf {{U}}^{k}\right\| ^2\), and combined with (47), (48) and (49), resulting in the following desired result
