In the present work, a compact difference scheme with convergence orderO(τ2+h4) is proposed for the fourth-order fractional sub-diffusion equation, wherehandτare space and temporal step length, respectively. The method is based on applying theL2−1σformula to approximate the time Caputo fractional derivative and employing compact operator to approximate the spatial fourth-order derivative. Using the special properties ofL2−1σformula and mathematical induction method, we obtain the unconditional stability and convergence for our scheme by discrete energy method. Furthermore, the extension to the two-dimensional case is also considered. Numerical examples are given to verify the theoretical analysis and efficiency of the new developed scheme.
