“…Many processes in applied sciences and engineering can be modeled more accurately by fractional derivatives than integer order derivatives. In this paper, we consider the following time‐fractional reaction–diffusion (TFRD) equation [16]: subject to the following initial condition (IC) and boundary conditions (BCs) where ν ≥ 0 and f ( x , t ), μ ( x ), θ 1 ( t ) and θ 2 ( t ) are sufficiently smooth functions. Further, the fractional derivative in (1) is the Caputo derivative defined as …”
