Abstract

Numerical methods for fractional partial differential equations have also been intensively studied and many already published papers can be found in the literature. Due to their wider application in modelling complex real-world problems, several numerical schemes have been suggested. This chapter is devoted to the discussion underpinning the application of existing and newly established numerical schemes for solving partial fractional differential equations.
