| Summary: | In this article, we propose a Galerkin finite element method for numerically solving a type of fractional hyperbolic integro-differential equation, which can be considered as the generalization of the classical hyperbolic Volterra integro-differential equation. Along with Galerkin finite element method in spatial direction, we apply a second order symmetric difference method in time. Next we discuss the regularity analysis of the weak solution and convergence analysis of the semi-discrete scheme. Then we further study the stability analysis and the error estimation of the fully discrete problems, according to the properties of fractional Ritz-Volterra projection, Ritz projection and so on. Numerical examples with comparisons among the proposed schemes verify our theoretical analyses.
