Boundary value problems for the diffusion equation of the variable order in differential and difference settings

Abstract Solutions of boundary value problems for a diffusion equation of fractional and variable order in differential and difference settings are studied. It is shown that the method of the energy inequalities is applicable to obtaining a priori estimates for these problems exactly as in the classical case. The credibility of the obtained results is verified by performing numerical calculations for a test problem.
