✦ Synopsis

Incorporating subdiffusive mechanisms into the Klein-Kramers formalism leads to the fractional Klein-Kramers equation. Then, the equation can effectively describe subdiffusion in the presence of an external force field in the phase space. This article presents the finite difference methods for numerically solving the fractional Klein-Kramers equation and does the detailed stability and error analyses. The stability condition, mv 2 R β ≤ 16, shows the ratio between the kinetic energy of the particle and the temperature of the fluid can not be too large, which well agrees with the physical property of the subdiffusive particle, we call it "physical constraint." The numerical examples are provided to verify the theoretical results on rate of convergence. Moreover, we simulate the fractional Klein-Kramers dynamics and the simulation results further confirm the effectiveness of our numerical schemes.
