The space fractional derivatives are defined by using Riesz fractional derivative. The space variable is discretized by means of a Galerkin finite element method and the time variable is discretized by the discontinuous Galerkin method. The approximate solution will be sought as a piecewise polynomial function in $t$ of degree at most $q-1, q \geq 1$, which is not necessarily continuous at the nodes of the defining partition. The error estimates in the fully discrete case are obtained and the numerical examples are given.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Space fractional partial differential equationsDiscontinuous Galerkin methodFinite element methodError estimatesArticle1873-5460Applied Numerical Mathematics
