Abstract
This paper investigates the chaotic and pattern dynamics of the time-fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation. First, we propose a high-precision numerical method that combines finite difference schemes with an improved Grünwald–Letnikov fractional derivative approximation. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through systematic comparisons with classical numerical approaches. Finally, numerical simulations based on this method reveal rich dynamical phenomena in the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equation: the system exhibits complex behaviors including chaotic oscillations and novel two- and three-dimensional pattern structures. This study not only advances the theoretical development of numerical solutions for fractional GLE but also provides a reliable computational tool for deeper understanding of its complex dynamical mechanisms.
