Abstract
In this work, a time-fractional nonlocal diffusion equation is considered. Based on the L2- scheme on a graded mesh in time and the standard finite element method (FEM) in space, the fully-discrete L2- finite element method is investigated for a time-fractional nonlocal diffusion problem. We prove the existence and uniqueness of fully-discrete solution. The α-robust error bounds are derived, i.e., bounds remain valid as α where is the order of a temporal fractional derivative. The numerical experiments are presented to justify the theoretical findings.
