Optimal spectral Galerkin approximation for time and space fractional reaction-diffusion equations

A one-dimensional space-time fractional reaction-diffusion problem is considered. We present a complete theory for the solution of the time-space fractional reaction-diffusion model, including existence and uniqueness in the case of using the spectral representation of the fractional Laplacian operator. An optimal error estimate is presented for the Galerkin spectral approximation of the problem under consideration.
