Abstract In this paper, based on Alikhanov’s L2-1σ high-order approximation and anisotropic finite element methods, a fully discrete scheme for time fractional variable coefficient diffusion equations on anisotropic meshes is presented. Firstly, we prove that the discrete scheme is unconditionally stable in H 1 -norm, then the results of convergence in L 2 -norm and superclose in H 1 -norm are derived by combining interpolation with projection, and then, the superconvergence in H 1 -norm is obtained by using interpolation post-processing technique. In addition, it is worth mentioning the key technology of combining interpolation and projection. If interpolation or projection is used alone, the results of this article cannot be obtained. Finally, numerical examples are provided to verify the correctness of theoretical analysis.

1 Introduction Fractional partial differential equations are equations containing non-integer derivatives and have a wide range of applications in real life. For example, fractional partial differential equations play key roles in image processing, such as image denoising (see [1,2]), image enhancement (see [3]) and image super-resolution reconstruction (see [4,5]). Especially in terms of denoising and reducing the staircase effect, the fractional derivative is more accurate than the integer one, which is also an irreplaceable advantage of the fractional partial differential equations. Moreover, studies have shown that fractional partial differential equations are very suitable for describing materials with memory and genetic properties such as dispersion in fractal and porous media, capacitance theory, electrolytic chemistry, semiconductor physics, viscoelastic systems, biomathematics and statistical mechanics (see [6–15]). With the increase in application fields of fractional partial differential equations, the study of fractional partial
