Abstract The main aim of this paper is to analyze the numerical method based upon the spectral element technique for the numerical solution of the fractional advection-diffusion equation. The time variable has been discretized by a second-order finite difference procedure. The stability and the convergence of the semi-discrete formula have been proven. Then, the spatial variable of the main PDEs is approximated by the spectral element method. The convergence order of the fully discrete scheme is studied. The basis functions of the spectral element method are based upon a class of Legendre polynomials. The numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.

1 Introduction The fractional advection-diffusion is one of the important models in the fractional PDEs [28, 44]. The fractional advection-diffusion has been solved by several numerical methods such as the operational matrix approach [7, 47], the finite difference method [11], the finite element method [9], the spectral collocation techniques [4, 46], some high-order numerical approximations [30], the ADI meshless method [2], etc. In addition, the interested readers can refer to [1, 6, 16, 17, 20, 22, 48] to find more information for the numerical solutions of fractional PDEs. The main purpose of the current paper is to study the fractional Galilei invariant advection-diffusion equation
