Abstract

We consider the variable-exponent Abel kernel and demonstrate its multiscale nature in modeling crossover dynamics from the initial quasi-exponential behavior to long-term power-law behavior. Then we apply this to an integro-differential equation modeling, e.g. mechanical vibration of viscoelastic materials with changing material properties. We apply the Crank-Nicolson method and the linear interpolation quadrature to design a temporal second-order scheme, and develop a framework of exponentially weighted energy argument in error estimate to account for the non-positivity and non-monotonicity of the multiscale kernel. Numerical experiments are carried out to substantiate the theoretical findings and the crossover dynamics of the model.
